Yes, that's correct. (I always say feet by accident)

It also has a cloud height of over 9,000, so this is one to keep an eye on as it's building quickly. Looks like it's coming to yyc.
Oh yeah, now I see. So if I’m reading this right, this one is headed toward the middle/south of Calgary?

We already have one car with extensive hail damage that was never fixed, but it's not the car we currently have the kids' car seats in. So if I'm going out with the kids tonight, I'm thinking I should put the car seats in the car with hail damage already, so if we get caught in the hail it's on the car already damaged.

That's correct. It has taken a bit of a turn to the SE in the last 15-20 minutes, so the brunt of it might scrape the SW corner of the city. Unless it changes again! Much of the south should get some rain at minimum though (green is simple precipitation). More colourful = more precipitation.

Orange and green squiggles are the seeding planes. Edit: Pink plane has joined in as well.

Oh ya...and those orange and pink lines you see moving around the front of the storm are the plane seeders. They seem to be doing a decent job so far...but we shall see.

Looks like it just grazed us in the SW. Rained for about 5 mins and seems to have stopped now.
