Just after I arrived home from work, a hail storm began to roll into my area, the Beltline district of Calgary. I compiled a video, and several photos!
In the video, notice how you can see the clouds roll in, and how the crane starts to move. The first part of the video has been sped up, with normal speed audio in the background.
- Everything looked calm just except for the dark clouds!
- You could see in the distance that a storm was on its way.
- Hail attacked my balcony and heavy wind made the door hard to open!
- Within minutes, this parking lot turned into mud and several drivers are hiding from the under the Esso’s canopy.
- The rain made it hard to focus out my window, with beautiful results.
- Hail covered the street below, but it didn’t last long.
- The sky is starting to clear up, but the ground is now a mess of hail, water and mud everywhere.

Absolutely beautiful pictures. Love all your descriptive photos. Just like being there. Thanks for sharing.
