"A violent long-track supercell storm tore across southern Alberta and west-central Saskatchewan leaving a nearly 400-kilometre swath of damage in its wake and prompting critical alerts across the Prairies.
The Alberta storm that tore through the province is being called one of the worst weather disasters of the year. Packing hailstones up to 5 cm wide and winds near 90 km/h, the Alberta storm smashed windows, pummeled cars, and tore through entire neighborhoods, leaving them looking like disaster zones. This extreme Alberta storm also triggered flash flooding, uprooted trees, and caused major infrastructure failures across multiple communities. Meteorologists say the Alberta storm formed as cold northern air collided with warm southern fronts, fueling an explosive system that turned deadly." SW
