I knew today would end up similar to July 11, 2004. Here's my video from today's insanity here in Edmonton. Wind's reached about 110 km/h. and Hail was only pea sized but still was quite a nice storm. Well Today was not a bust!! I knew today would end up similar to July 11, 2004.

Today is looking great, and I especially like the PASPC discussion. Edmonton is in the threat for severe weather this afternoon, with the potential for large hail and strong winds by early afternoon.
