Flash Flood!

I know it is probably asking a bit much to think that any of you in Alberta this year will feel the least bit of empathy for us, but we did have a torrential downpour yesterday! It started thundering and lightning about 4:00 am and continued 'til about 10:00.
Yvonne looked out the balcony and there was a huge backlog of traffic as cars were stalled in front of our building. We went down to the lobby to snap a few pictures, and I ended up helping push some of the vehicles out of the way. Here is a bit of what it looked like. The weather website first recorded 155 mL (and 37 mL per hour). It was quite something!
