[fast95pony]

I drove the Stang to work tonight.D'OH !!

:banghead:

The radar looks really ugly ! :(

[Ichigo]

Damn I got no Garage.. Time to stand out there with a helmet and a tennis raquet.. come on hail!!!:cry:

[A_3]

It's not as bad as they said it would be, i'm here at Glen Eagles of Cochrane where they said it was supposed to hit worst (Tornada warning, golf ball sized hail etc...) Never saw any hail bigger then pea sized ones and heavy rain lasted 45 minutes. It is an awesome storm to watch though, the lightening is amazing. Just to be careful I moved my car under the covered drive-in part of the club house as to not let it get hurt :D .

P.S. sun shinning now :thumbsup:

[illeagle]

:werd: weekend should be great, hot weather is what is creating these damn storms. Just talked to gf's dad, supposed to be "one hell of a storm" up in the south west, maybe it just skirted us here in Cochrane :dunno:

[Toms-Celica]

UPDATE FROM BONAVISTA:
HAIL SIZE HAS INCREASED (SMALL ROCKS), POWER IN AND OUT

[88CRX]

i just moved my car as close to the roof overhand as possible.... no room in the garage :(

[jus_sum_guy]

No t.v. here in crescent hieghts. signals out :cry:

[BigBanana]

It's alright so far in Edgemont. It's pouring but the suns out.
Calgary's weird.

[xDiMSuMx]

i'm working at chinook and it's flooding right now from Zellers
don't know how i'm gonna get home in my lowered crx
:( :confused:

[hatetank]

[finboy]

crescent area, was bad, not so bad now, hopefully the sun comes out

[88CRX]

southcenter is flooding too i guess.... brother just called and said :banghead:

[sexualbanana]

Fuck. Bad rain and flooding seems to follow me everywhere

[Z_Fan]

We got marble sized hail in McKenzie Towne. Not a lot of it, but enough that it will have caused minor damage to vehicles. (Little marks, not big ones). There were a very few hail pieces that were about twice the size of a marble, those would definitely do damage...

I tried to protect the cars. The POS car was left out completely. I'll look at it tomorrow and see how bad it is. But it's a chev, so who fucking cares? :dunno:

[cman]

brentwood is just raining like a mother fucker so far.
why did the storm start after i said i would pick up the pizza:banghead:

[kiwi]

Everything's clear over here in Varsity now... hee hee
it wasn't as bad as they said it would be... I don't even think it hailed!

[Toms-Celica]

Bonavista clear, street flooded a little.

[xDiMSuMx]

just got home
area around chinook was a little crazy

i work at the Shaw Cable stand in Chinook
water flooded in from Zellers and it's all over that area
my kiosk was surrounded by water haha
underground parking was full of water except where i parked
there were firetrucks and cops out around chinook

[kenny]

In the SW, every single major intersection along 14th street, Anderson Road, etc was flooded to the point where police closed them. At 14th street and 90th Avenue (glenmore landing) there is an ambulance stuck in the water.

Its the day after tommorow...

[rogue]

Guys, come on we are used to this...

[Idratherbsidewayz]

Woodbine was terrible, some crazy hail. As soon as I saw the hail I felt it was necessary to go for a drive. Come on new paintjob!!!

[sabad66]

if you have comprehensive coverage with your insurance do they pay for fixing of your car if hail messes it up?

That was me, haha, I have the money parking spot, it never fails me. When I walked into the underground parking and saw the flooding I was like, "oh fuck," but there wasn't a drop of water near my car :D

It's really crazy inside the mall by Zellers like Dim Sum said, I had to walk by his booth, the area nearby is flooded quite nicely.

As for hail, I didn't see much until I saw the piles of hail in my neighbourhood, one of the fields near by was steaming, it was an interesting site.

Anyway, I kind of enjoy these storms as long as there isn't much damage, hopefully no one on the forums had any damage done to their cars...

[Phats]

haha, gotta love calgary, the house flooded a bit and the backyards a mess, my moms pissed. I have some pics of one intersection near my house in Bonavista, I'll post them in a bit

Our old Honda civic had comprehensive and we got two full paintjobs courtesy of mother nature...

[rogue]

hakkola i must say your car is the shit soooooooooooooo nice. My buddy a benz fanatic was with me and he had to change his underwear when he saw your car. I circled a couple of times to check it but didnt get out so i wouldnt look suspicious:D . Is that stock paint or did you get that painted somewhere? :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Paint is stock except on the kit where instead of painting it the grey that the bottom panels come in it was painted to match the rest of the car. The paint actually needs a little bit of work...

Thanks for the compliments.

[b16Ateg]

my buddies condo.. over in richmond.. south of mount royal.. the front always fluds and it leaks inside the place.. and today it came all the way in .. when down the halls and through 2 ppls place on the bottom floor shitt for them.. and the water leaked down into the underground parkade... and right on top of my car.. a small ass pipe was leaking like hell thank god it didn't burst over my car and find a pipe on top of it...
