Weird. I drove through/made a pit stop at Longview mid evening and it was fine. Must have missed that.. thank goodness!
Already had my car dinged up by large hail driving the 22 last summer.

Someone please delete the post with the large photos or at least put them in spoiler tags.

The radar last night was interesting: looked like storm cloud chaos all around the city north and south outside the city limits, but Calgary itself was nestled in this little pocket of nothing. Almost looked like the storms were jumping out of the way of us.
Another warning today, we'll see if it does it again.

Were the cloud seeders hitting them? I think 2 nights ago I saw them blow down a 12.5 to under 9 before it could hit north Calgary.

Next time watch the squiggly lines that are the seeder flight tracks to see if they are hitting it.

I see that light green/grey heading our way in sage hill. Fingers crossed it's not bad.

Just got an emergency alert about very large hail "if weather threat approaches."
Looks like north and south of Calgary/Chestermere.
