Took a drive along Alberta's southern border yesterday afternoon... Big, wild country down there!




Lots of water flowing down the Elbow River these days! Warmer weather today and tomorrow. #yyc
Western Canada summer weather update... Where are we at for rainfall, storms, wildfire and drought? Plus some bonus storm footage! #abstorm youtube.com/watch?v=KSro82…
Don't do this. Official weather warnings in Canada are issued by Environment Canada only. Other parties can & should rebroadcast OFFICIAL warnings to reach as many people as possible. Confusion in emergency situations as to the validity of warnings is dangerous #skstorm #abstorm
A super rare shot for me. Golden Eagle in a staredown with a Badger. Woot! #wildlifephotography
Intense lightning on tornado-warned storm near Cadillac #skstorm 4PM

Massive lightning strikes over Calgary, Alberta this evening! #yyc #abstorm
Absolutely wild night of intense cloud-to-ground lightning SE of Calgary tonight #abstorm
It's rare to see an MCS (mesoscale convective system) of this magnitude in southern Alberta! Intense lightning and torrential rains continue into the night. #abstorm
Massive lightning strikes over Calgary, Alberta this evening! #yyc #abstorm

INSANE CG lightning here at the Kananaskis Bearspaw gas station #abstorm 735PM
