Last night, we received over 2 inches of rain in about 4 hours. It seemed to be a torrential downpour at times. Luckily, our basement didn't flood. Those of many people in our area did. The storm sewers just couldn't handle the deluge.
We often get storm warnings during the summer, like this from last year.
Last night, we got a severe thunder storm warning, followed immediately by the storm.
We are supposed to get more thunder showers over the next few days. Hopefully, we won't see as much rain as last night.
Although some of our streets were flooded last night, thank goodness, we didn't get the sort of flooding that's occurring in southern Alberta.
Here's hoping we get enough water but not floods everywhere. What a year! Even floods in towns like Huntsville and Bracebridge in the Spring-first time I had ever heard of them flooding and now Calgary-unreal!
