For a change, Saddleridge just got a bit of baby hail. Rained like crazy, but only for about 5 minutes or so.

I guess it’s just a testament to how big the city is, but I was just out in the yard and it’s beautiful. I actually had to look at the dates of these posts because I thought they might’ve been old.

Yeah, whatever this was looked like it pretty much dropped over 16th and moved east, branching out over areas to the north and south of 16th a ways. Very centered.

Biblical rain in sage hill with some minor hail. Definitely had PTSD from last year.

All I can get

I was hoping the hailstorm would turn the Stampede Grandstand Show finale into complete chaos, especially the Young Canadians set.

These storms are pretty localized too because it sounds like it dumped around Peter's Drive In and the north-central but a few km west by the University it was just a light sprinkle. I was mowing my lawn when it started raining but it wasn't even enough to make me stop my job.

We got some loonie sized hail in Sunnyside, lasted maybe 5 minutes. We ran out and got the garden covered in time.

Yeah, it's kinda surreal. I saw maybe gumball or dime sized at biggest yesterday and just a bunch of leaves/pine cones knocked down. Then driving past 16th this morning and seeing trees ripped apart and fire trucks and stuff... crazy.

I'm down in Sunalta, and we didn't get a lick of anything. Friend who lives in Hillhurst said they got a downpour.
Crazy how different it can be a kilometer apart.

Alberta full of measles, and after the Calgary Stampede, also chlamydia
Quote:
A raucous weekend at the Calgary Stampede has left local hospitals, already dealing with a rash of measles cases, further scrambling to deal with an influx of residents and tourists burning up with chlamydia.
Alberta currently has its highest measles count since 1979, but health experts are more concerned about the bacterial STI which always accompanies the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, and is especially widespread after this year’s frenzied festivities.
“Between the measles outbreak and now chlamydia, Calgary is just teeming right now,” said Isabelle Jones, head of Infectious Disease at Rockyview General Hospital. “To give you an idea of how bad things are here, we’ve had to do the unthinkable. That’s right, we’ve had to ask the city of Edmonton for help.”
When questioned about the ongoing outbreaks, a UCP spokesperson scoffed at the idea of disease outbreaks in general. “Measles? That’s a funny word. Seems like something the NDP would make up to scare people. As for chlamydia, well, that’s also a funny word. And if Albertans are smart they’ll vote UCP for a chlamydia-free Alberta in 2027. Or they’ll vote UCP for a chlamydia-full Alberta in 2027, whichever one sounds best to them.”
