Default Some big hail now hitting Sundance, Calgary

Sporadic but some toonie sized hail that bounces off concrete. Hide your cars in the garage.

The emergency alert system was used for a tornado that touched down in Wheatland county.

I have seen total hail devastation on a street..and one block over... nothing.

The large hail thankfully was few and far between. Some additional pea sized hail was fairly sparse with little damage.

Got lucky on this one.
