Yep, plus I have some power flickering here too.

My Slingbox (in Tuscany) that streams World Cup matches to my computer here at work just went offline. Coincidence? I think not.

Mad lightning and thunder in NW. Crazy hail, too. Hoping power doesn't die out.

According to the radar this system is making it's way to the east side of the city. A bit of a lull now here but another system is brewing up and on it's way.

Tornado Watch for Airdrie, Olds, Cochrane

Lost power briefly in Tuscany

Yikes. I've got my motorcycle class tonight out at Balzac.

The rain just ruined my golf game.

If this forum permitted swearing, this post would be a profanity laced tirade.

Being a soccer coach in the summer sucks some serious ass.

power flickered, never went out totally.

Also looked like that other system behind fizzled out.

Getting hit by hail and heavy rain in the deep SW.

Airdrie - Cochrane - Olds - Sundre continued

Funnel clouds have been reported southeast of Airdrie and over Southern Calgary.

Not just Calgary.

My satellite can't find a signal right now. This has actually never happened to me before and I've had Bell for years.

[jayswin]

Meh, that was a storm. It just came in went in the SW here. Kind of cool while it lasted, but pretty weak and short.

[Antithesis]

I hope the bit of hail - maybe 2 minutes worth - doesn't kill my vegetable garden. It survived an earlier hailstorm of longer length earlier this 'summer' so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Just when it looked like I might have a bit of fresh lettuce from the garden this weekend ...

My team (as a player, though) has played only 3 games out of a possible 8 so far if you include tonight. I get a bit annoyed at how easily they close the fields here though. If it had been raining all day, I get it, but a quick pass of a storm hours before kickoff and - quick! Let's close the fields!

Yeah, my game was canceled so I'll be running a practice.

As for closing the fields easily, its because in past years they'd never close them, it'd take an act of God to close those fields and in the end they were thoroughly trashed. Now they're trying to save them, although its somewhat too late.
