It was a nice summer evening, warm winds some neighbours in the other building were sitting on their balconies and everyone seemed to have a great time. Around 9:30 pm the sky turned red and lightning struck the sky without any thunder for about 25 minutes. I guess this is how celebrities feel when they go somewhere just wild flashing everywhere, I felt a bit like a rockstar.
9:55 pm rain started and a few minutes later pea sized hail joined in, till then everything seemed okay. The sky turned really black and then the real hailstorm started, for about 10-15 minutes it just got loud from that hail.
Golfball sized hail covered the streets, dented cars and crashed windows.
Here a picture of some hail I picked up:
Golfball sized hail in Calgary August 12, 2012
Neighbours were trying to get their cars from the parking lot into safer places, to keep the damage down. Not many had luck with that.
Hail smashing on our roof sounded like someone hammering with a jackhammer, it was really a frightening moment for many here in Calgary.
Even today the newspapers were full of aftermath stories about the costs and damage that was done by the hail. Everyone is just really relieved about the fact that it is over, for my readers you can watch my Video I shot. Just a raw impression what it was like.
