Calgary Hail Storm 2015: Cleanup Begins

The cleanup begins, after heavy rain, hail and strong winds whipped through Calgary Tuesday evening, leaving some damage in their wake.

The sudden storm brought flash flooding, that swallowed up some vehicles and caused delays for transit.

Casually boating down the block. Yeah, Forest Lawn has its own private lake now. Nbd.
