First came the heat...now thunderstorms?
Hoping the garden survives. Looks likes storms lining up around. Some building over Calgary right now.

I'm happy it's cooling down a bit and I can open the windows and get a breeze blowing through my place. I'm worried about the potential for damaging hail, or lightning strikes though.

Looked like a tornado forming over spruce Meadows, went to get phone to film and first hail shot hit. 50 holes in siding. Biggest hail bigger than a golf ball.

Pretty common trend to get thunder storms after a heat wave
It’s just the way Mother Nature wants to do things

It was nasty. Neighbours have punctured siding. Will need to have the roof and stucco checked tomorrow.
