Anyone experience any major damage?
A sudden windstorm blew through Calgary on Friday, toppling trees and power lines and sending glass raining from a highrise building in the Victoria Park neighbourhood.
A wind warning was issued for Calgary and surrounding areas at about 8 p.m. by Environment Canada, while severe thunderstorm warnings and tornado watches were issued for central and eastern parts of the province.
The warning said winds up to 100 km/hr had been reported.
Enmax said on social media its crews were dealing with multiple outages across Calgary.
Calgary Fire Department responded to more than a dozen calls of trees and power lines being blown down across the city. Glass also fell from the 39th storey of a residential tower in the 1100 block of Third Street S.E., across from Cowboys Casino, near the Stampede grounds.
Police cordoned off the area and no injuries were reported, said Batt. Chief Alistair Robin.
Severe thunderstorm warnings were issued for parts of central and eastern Alberta, which were later downgraded.
"A cold front moving through Alberta this evening is triggering thunderstorms. Thunderstorms will continue to move to the east and southeast into the evening," read the warning.
A tornado watch was also in place for a short time in the Airdrie, Cochrane, Olds and Sundre areas.
"This is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation," read the warning.

Oh so thats why all the firetrucks were going north on Macleod Trail this evening. I was leaving downtown at about 9:00 and I was almost blown off the bike while stopped at lights, it was pretty windy.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I live in guardian north and a pane of glass fell from the 39th floor. So funny watching cops tackle random drunk people for an hour as they gave no shits and walked into the taped off areas while we waited for them to give us the clear.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

3 degrees on the thermometer this morning. That's pretty damn cool for a mid-July morning even by Calgary standards.
Will fuck off, again.

Wife and I were at inglewood night market when it hit. Blew everyone’s tents and shop displays away. Neat to see tons of people pitch in to hold tents down and help the vendors pack up quickly. There was a construction crane blowing around eerily though so when we saw that we got the heck out

Anyone really get anything last night? Just a bit of hail, quick downpour then nothing. Super anticlimactic
Registered User
No hail at all, just a lot of thunder, lightning and rain for about an hour. And then it was really nice out.
Registered User
Rain only in Mount Pleasant. Did get a second round of Thunder around 3am, but don't think it even rained at that time.

It looked like the Hail Stop guys really affected that one storm early evening. The ones North and South (which werent seeded) appeared to stay the course.

There was fist sized hail east of Red Deer, it was a frigging monsoon at the shop, craziest storm I've seen in two years I'd reckon. The Thunder was shaking the house all night, woke me up a couple times and I sleep through anything.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I'm glad I got the 10,000sqft of seeded grass fertilized a couple hours prior!
