Warning didn’t say where. Assume it’s the north end.

Something smaller brewing in the SE too.

Airdrie, crossfield, Calgary, Bottrel, and Cochrane. A very dangerous thunderstorm capable of producing very strong wind gusts up to baseball size hail and heavy rain. Intense lightning is likely and tornadoes are possible with any thunderstorm that develops.

Just put the other vehicle in the garage, would suggest you do the same.

Based on current radar north end of the city and north of the city are most at risk. Airdrie and area especially.

Nothing in Panorama yet, but it's very dark and there's a constant roaring in the sky that I've never heard before. Very ominous sounding

City of Calgary webcams are all over and good resource to see what/where is getting hit in real time.

Green colored clouds are not good. It’s usually indicative of a very intense storm

They’ve now added Brooks, Strathmore, Vulcan, Olds, Sundre, Drumheller and three hills to the warning.

Sherwood checking in.

Screens for the windows on the front of the house were destroyed. Siding of the front of the house was banged up pretty bad.

The hail was very large (golf ball) and was extremely loud when it hit the house. Like frighteningly loud. I’m surprised the windows survived. Shockingly, all three kids stayed asleep.
