As we’re sure all of you are already aware, southern and central Alberta got absolutely dumped on over the weekend. Hail, rain, thunder, and lightning rocked Calgary and the surrounding area, damaging vehicles, flooding streets, giving us a sinister sky show, and ultimately causing tens of millions of dollars of damage. That number could be higher, as Calgary’s Mayor Naheed Nenshi stated that the damage could be as high as $1 billion.

For those who fled under the covers, or just couldn’t see through the egg-sized ice balls during Saturday’s storm in and around Calgary, some were able to catch the best and the worst of it, and man, was it ugly out there.

It all began with wild cloud formations, a gut feeling, and gusts of wind.

Then, of course, we got an unbelievable amount of rain…

Some lightening

And unfortunately, some got hit by hail…

Which caused major devastation.

And it’s easy to see why…

Now that the worst of it is over, we hope all of you are okay! It’s been a while since Calgary has seen a storm quite like this, and we’re hoping it’s the last one we see for a long time. Our hearts are with everyone negatively affected.

2020 just won’t give us a break.
