Seen on the news Taber had a confirmed tornado touch down in a field around 8:30. What's with the weird weather so early in the year? It's technically not even summer yet!

Sylvan Is nice so far. Heading home to Ranier(south of Brooks) tomorrow, dad said he hasn't seen lightning like this since he was a kid.

An inch (or 25 mm) of rain last night in Elkford. Forecasting another 20-50mm in the weather warning for today and this evening.

So far this spring we have had 6 and 9/10" of the wet stuff.

On another note, last night at 1ish. I woke out of my sleep to the sound of thunder, i thought there was a car wreck outside my house man it was loud. The gf said it sounded like a building collapsing. I haven't been woken by thunder in since i was a kid.

2 Confirmed tornado's by Taber, 1 north of Brooks, 1 at Bow Island and Turin and Environment Canada is investigating a possible tornado at Vulcan as well. Heard even Spock beat it out of town last night when the storm was about to hit. Lol.

Snow on the mountains coming home last night. Another 3/4" yesterday through the day. Nearly 2" total from that storm according to my rain gauge. Temp down to +2 last night. Had everything that mattered covered.
