I am actually from west Edmonton, so it was a little bit of a trek with no major guarantee of some decent storm action. I know what you mean about Drayton Valley, every time there is word of some decent convection there is generally always something happening there. Last year on july 29th i managed to get some wicked meso/wall cloud photos just north east of Drayton valley. I will send them your way i think you might find them interesting. hey!

I may have to move up there if it's going to continue to be the storm magnet that it's been. There wasn't much structure to anything this day, the lowering in the 2nd photo had a little bit of spin when the photo was taken, but it didn't last long. Hi Jon, thanks :)

Great photo's. I am really liking this site, i didn't no one such as this existed in Alberta. I went after a few cells at around 1 or 2 the same day just west of Drayton. It was a great light show with lots of wind rain and a little hail (just peas). I was a little surprised i didn't see some decent organized structure like in the second photo you have posted. Oh well maybe next time. again great stuff! ps:was there any rotation in that? cheers: Jon Beleshko hey pat!

Mike W. our storm chaser for the site chased the little line of cells that hit wetaskiwin. Here's his video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ_EW6slemk At about 10:30 there was a nice storm that exploded when the cap broke. It took on supercellular caracteristics pretty fast. I got video of it with some big flashes! I'll upload those tomorrow. Hey PB. Mike W. our storm chaser for the site chased the little line of cells that hit wetaskiwin. Here’s his video.
