Wicked storm.
Holy crap! Did we ever just get hammered by a wicked storm. Gale force wind, marble sized hail, and torrential rainfall. East of Killam. Anyone else get hammered too.

Ripped the door off my pump house, and might have lost a couple of big spruce trees in the front yard. Lawn Furnature, barbecue cover etc. who knows where?

Castor missed the hail, but the winds blew shingles off my roof.
Again.
Power was not right for an hour and a half, and I think it's still out in town.

We just came back from the Nordeg area, and it rained all the way back to Camrose , some hail around Rocky and heavy rain, vehicles were parked on the shoulder when it hailed, but after that it was on the lighter side with rain

Looks like the front of the storm has passed overhead looking at the weather radar, but it looks like part 2 is about 30-40 minutes out coming up from the southwest. Just heavy winds & sideways rain for now.

Lost nine spruce trees, two wind breaks and my mower shed. She was a doozy, just east of Killam. 3” of rain with some hail in the mix.

Have a couple of big spruce trees that are good leaners after the storm. I wonder if they can be pulled back into place? Any suggestions?

They can definitely be pulled back up (depending on size of course). Will just have to be properly staked up for the next few years for the roots to re establish.
