It’s only the second since we moved to Calgary from Victoria, but it is a reminder that things are different here. Last night at 9:40, the kids were in bed and Tammy and I were watching TV when my phone made a horrendous noise. There was a tornado warning on the screen. I immediately did what any modern person would do: opened the Weather Network app and then went to take a picture out the front window.
I was aware that there were a line of storms moving to the north and east of Calgary, but I guess this one got bad enough and brushed up against the NE corner of Calgary to warrant hundreds of thousands of people getting the warning.
In the end, there was no tornado, but that’s all for the best.
Better to be prepared than suddenly see your roof gone…..
