The deluge of rain across southern Alberta is breaking decades-old precipitation records.

Springbank, northwest of Calgary, recorded a whopping 38 millimetres of rainfall over an 18-hour period by 6 p.m. Sunday night, Environment Canada reported.

The total beat the previous 110-year-old record of 29.5 millimetres set back in 1897.

Environment Canada said 27 millimetres of rain fell during the same time frame at Calgary International Airport, coming up short of the 29.5 millimetres recorded in June 17, 1897.

Calgary has already seen 149.2 millimetres of rain so far this June, which is normally the city's wettest month.

"The normal for the entire month is 79.8 millimetres, so they've had in total about 88 per cent rain more rain than they would normally get," Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips told CTV.ca.

Phillips says the record for rainfall in a month was 247.6 millimetres in June 2005. He said 10 per cent of the city's homes were flooded as a result.

Here are some pictures my uncle took. The in-door photos were taken inside of shopping mall (Chinook Center)

Damn isn't this where you lived before?

Yup. Isn't it funny how something finally interesting happened after I left the city?

Seriously though, the flooding of water under the freeway bridge was bound to happen - especially as they've recently been completing a new freeway around those parts. In fact, thanks to Calgary's idiotic road design (and lack of planning, as per usual), the water in that particular section filled up like bowl and would have helped flood the mall (which is very close by!).

It's happened before, but not like this..

Geez...that's bad. Thanks for sharing. I hope all your family and friends in the area were not adversely affected.

Thanks Olli. As far as I know none of my family and/or friends have been affected.

Good to hear that

Many of the freeways here in Las Vegas are "dual purpose" traffic and flood way. So if it is raining hard... pay attention.

Interesting photos. I can only imagine the amount of damage, monetarily, this has done to the city affected.

I wasn't aware of that, interesting information. Thanks

Apparently it's already totaling $50 Million.

Wow...that's a lot of flooding. crazy. That truck in the water pic is crazy.
