Hail struck Airdrie, Cochrane and Calgary's north side a day after thunderstorms brought more flooding to Calgary, and two weeks after southern Alberta communities suffered the worst flooding in the province's history.

Airdrie home video shot during the event shows how the storm turned the city from summer into a winter wonderland in mere minutes.

High winds and lightning accompanied the hailstorm that besieged the area late Saturday afternoon and evening.
