From downtown there was a pretty nasty looking black cloud hanging down due west (Springbank area).

I guess that's how the alerts are supposed to work (targetting only the areas that are in the vicinity)? I never received one at all and I was downtown.
My wife and son texted me at 5pm not to come home (Tuscany) as they were getting blasted with heavy rain etc. I waited it out for a bit until the all clear from them. My commute home (Bow Trail/Sarcee/TCH/Stoney was bone dry on the roads until turning north onto Stoney. Didn't look like it even rained on the west side of town at all.
