#abstorm looks like the tornado warning quieted down. Still gonna hang out in the basement to wait for the worst of the storm to pass

Thought for a few minutes that the hail was going to break our front windows. These storms are making me a scaredy cat. #YEGwx #ABstorm :blobcatsweats:

One thing I really do miss from the bird site is being able to stay caught up #abstorm happenings. That was quite the shower. #alberta #yql

Noticing this year that when it rains in #YYC, the temperature drops several degrees while it’s raining, only to bounce right back up after the rain stops. The result is that we get incredibly muggy periods after rain, but it’s also odd because normally that 4-5 degree drop during the rain is persistent for several hours - but not this year.

The tornado that wreaked havoc in central Alberta on Canada Day was the strongest to hit the province since the twister that struck Edmonton on 'Black Friday' in 1987, researchers say.

Just love this video from Jayjack - #stormchaser on home terf! We get a few tornados here in AB but never much footage to go around. I know lots of chasers work hard to get this info to us.

From the birdsite:

"Hey @elonmusk you stupid fuck. There is currently a tornado warning about 100 km away and I would use twitter to follow the #abstorm hashtag to see if I was in the path of danger and i can't now because i reached my 600 read limit. People will die because of this."

I guess I should clean up the yard, we went from 30% to 40% chance of thundershowers with hail. #drumheller #abstorm #abweather

This is what it looks like outside for me right now in Calgary as result of the wildfires in northern Alberta, and yes it does smell like a firepit.

Snowpack in the Columbia River watershed is at 93% of average today. The average seasonal peak is early next month. An increase is expected over the next few days. Healthiest snowpack is found in the Snake River watershed.

Elsewhere, the Peace River watershed, which was very low a few months ago, is now 91% of normal. Severe (or worse) drought continues to persist in the rest of the upper Mackenzie watershed.
