Communities left to survey damage following massive hail storm across Alberta, following other extreme weather blanketing Western Canada.

“The Edmonton tornado back in ‘87 – it was very similar to yesterday in terms of hail size. While this size hailstone is more common in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Mr. Brimelow said it is rare to see it in Alberta. “These large hailstones – while they do a lot of damage to property – may not have been that bad on fields,” Mr. McIntosh said. The man who posted the video said they were about five kilometres south of Gasoline Alley in Red Deer. RCMP spokesperson Gina Slaney said at least 34 vehicles were damaged by hail in the Innisfail area, south of Red Deer, but the number could be higher. The hailstorm followed other extreme weather blanketing Western Canada: Alberta and B.C. were under extreme heat warnings for much of last week with temperatures hitting 40 C in some areas.
