Wacky Weather Warning!
Trying to the get the heads up for folks a little earlier this time. Nothing has hit Calgary yet... but look West. There are huge thunderstorms forming along the foothills. Be careful, plan ahead, don't get caught outside.
Here's hoping we don't get hammered too hard.

Beware for sure. There is potential in alberta for very large thunderstorms and tornado's today. That one west of calgary just formed in less than 15 minutes. Very impressive.

Think about the thousands and thousands of people down at the Stampede right now. They have no idea.

I'll be heading out after the penalty kicks. Hopefully I can get some good pics. It looks like it is still getting stronger and I suspect it will head north of the city. But you never know.

Also, from watching the radar it looks like we could be hit anyway even if this cell misses us, there looks to be more coming behind it.

Damit, I wanted to relax in the sun after the world cup... but noooo.
I also have some tenderloin merinating that I was going to skewer up and put on the grill. Hopefully this passes soon.

NW Here, the hail is VERY BIG... a few walnut sized perhaps. It sounds like someone is shooting at my window...
Edit: now they are smaller (thank goodness) about pee sized and mixed with rain

Looks like a hurricane just hit outside the Foothills Hospital. It's nuts out there.
