Hail Mary!

So a huge storm system moved through here a few days ago. All we got where we live was a little bit of wind and hail, but holy hell, look what other parts of the city (mainly the northwest quadrant) had to deal with:

Holy crapples. I’m glad I didn’t get stuck walking in that.

Edit: Apparently this is now the 4th most expensive natural disaster in Canadian history, beating out the 2013 Calgary floods. Wild.

Aw Hail No!

Haha, so we got caught in a flash hailstorm on our way back from watching the new Spider Man movie. Observe:

We had just passed a bus stop when the hail started, otherwise we would have had to run a bit to find cover. The hail doesn’t look super big in the video, but some of them were probably dime-sized, I’d say. It sounds so loud ‘cause it was hitting the glass roof of the bus shelter.

I was yelling at Nate ‘cause that was the only way he could hear me.
