An Enthusiastic Chinook
Living in Southern Alberta all my life, I am no stranger to the big wind but this was unbelievable. Up to 149 kms winds were recorded wreaking havoc not just in the city but all over the Southern Alberta area. Here in Calgary windows were flying out of the skyscrapers downtown and many trees were lifted out of the ground roots and all. The downtown core was shut down on Sunday.
One of the Clubs trees was uprooted:

I had some vinyl siding that I had to pop back in place. I found a roof shingle in the backyard that I have yet to determine the owner, hopefully it's not me. =)
Although, nothing THAT nasty out here in Strathmore... yikes.

Wow. Saw this on the news and looked pretty wild.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!
