Agreed, storm chasing is fun... just don't drive a vehicle that you are afraid to get damaged.

Here's some radar images of the storm.
Storm(s) approaching from NW
Storm(s) over Calgary
Storm E of Calgary

Check out the 3rd one. That's one big cell with a cloud top of 11.5km. Damn!

2 hours after going through Calgary
Yep that third one looks like its right on top of Langdon.

What a storm. There was still mounds of hail on my lawn this morning.

Insurance adjuster is scheduled to come out on Saturday. Should be interesting to see what the final tally is.

I just wish my house was needing repairs so I could benefit from this a bit. Unfortunately with it only being 5yrs old I really didnt need to replace anything yet. Nothing like a $500 deductible kick in the teeth and the likely raised insurance premiums caused by a 15-20 minute storm.
