1. We got off lucky north of Saskatoon. A little finger nail size hail for a minute and then an inch of rain over a period of a couple of hours. Perfect for the crops and gardens.

2. Something out of The Ten Commandments.

3. Geez – I thought that was a tribute to the mosquitos!

4. “Ominous and threatening skies may be expected to increase with climate change”

   1. Those a$$holes never miss a chance to preach their religion.

5. A local lady, heard from friends in Saskatchewan.
   SCHOOL bus got itself stuck ……in hail.

6. I remember storms like that while I lived in Saskatoon during the early 1980s. The last one brought so much rain that part of the roof of a nearby shopping centre collapsed. As well, the Idylwyld underpass which went under Circle Drive on the north side of the city was flooded.

   1. If I remember correctly, a woman drowned in her car under that overpass at that time. Or maybe it was another time. We got seven inches of rain one afternoon in July 1974 1/2 hour north of Saskatoon and had a foot of water in the basement.

      1. I remember reading about the drowning.

         The underpass was completely submerged and that section of Idylwyld was closed for several weeks.
