reevesr1 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 If anyone is downtown right now, look outside. It is almost as dark as night, blowing, and temp has dropped significantly. Looks like summer was a couple of days last week. Welcome to fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reevesr1 Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Pretty big hail stones. If you live in the south, may want to get your car under cover. Figure it's coming your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailhead Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I just drove through it, worst part of the hail was happening in West Hilhurst. Golf ball sized hail put a nice new crack in my windshield. There's supposed to be another cell coming by just in time for the drive home. The rain was pretty intense too, and in fact made driving more difficult than the hail. Damn droughts.

lethfisher Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 my girlfriend was coming to pick me up at the university when the hail storm hit. My car now has a hundred or so dents in it, one of the sideview mirrors had the glass smashed out and a nice big ol' crack in the windsheild. Awesome... Pictures on the weathernetwork.ca showed a funnel cloud at the Children's Hospital at 1:30pm today. yikes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monger Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 The University got pounded. Trees got blasted, greenhouses destroyed, cars and glass hammered. The insurance companies will be busy today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcrules Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I'm glad I don't live in the NW....they always seem to get the brunt of the shitty weather. Date: Sat. Jul. 17 2004 8:53 AM ET Terms like "war zone" were being thrown around as Calgary cleaned up from its severe weather battering from Thursday night. Cleanup efforts are underway in Calgary after a massive thunderstorm pelted the city with golfball-sized hail and heavy rain. The worst-hit areas were in southwest Calgary, specifically the new neighborhoods of Springbank Hill and Braeside. Small excavators were busy moving mud on Friday. Street sweepers were also busy.

On a positive note... Higher rain fall will help scour spawning beds, clean up creeks and river and provide more water and depth and reduced water temperatures over the Summer. Great for future trout populations. Added rain will help fill lakes and ponds, sloughs and dugouts. Great for wildlife and soil moisture levels. Increased rain will eventually make its way into springs and aquifers...improving future water needs. Increased rains will help crops and keep things greener for a little longer this Summer. Increased rains will keep fishermen away and reduce pressure on streams and lakes...fish are thankful Long live the rain! Sun P.S. Just no more hail!
