Foothillls Magic! Chasing storms in Alberta, Canada🇨🇦 can often be an effort in taking weather models with a large grain of salt ... like yesterday's Rocky Mountain House tornado on the opposite side of the province from where the models suggested we see one.

Stumbled across this beautiful beast on my way home from Costco this afternoon! It hung around long enough for me to get home, put the groceries into the house, grab the big camera and drive back to the field it was hunting in.

I missed the first wave. But the bridge colour coordinated with Remembrance Day and the Aurora which made for a cool pic.

Birth of a Monster The #abstorm that blasted over Calgary on Sunday afternoon was born near Water Valley, in the foothills Northwest of Cochrane. Check out out the moment at 19 seconds where it decides to start dumping it's rain and hail!
