Default The storm in Calgary

I have not seen one like that in a (looooong) while myself. Not sure where else it hit, but in SW it lasted good 15-20 minutes. At point, about 10-15 minutes in, it seemed like it let go for a minute or two, then it came back with the vengeance for another 5 or so, haha. While I am a visitor, I got some dents on my hood like a real “southerner”, lol. Nothing significant, but I am happy to drive a 2008 4Runner. Couldn’t help but think about the neighbours’ pretty new Tundra parked on the driveway, as well as many other vehicles on the street and elsewhere without a roof/cover over.

It came out nowhere too.

Many were significantly larger in size than that ^ and a few probably more than double.

A few minutes in:



After:

Hardly a wind, but:



This one was no joke, that’s for sure.
