‘Chaotic’ storm drops up to tennis ball sized-hail over parts of central Alberta
According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), a tornado-warned and very large hail-warned storm dropped hail up to the size of tennis balls over parts of central Alberta Wednesday night.
Judging by reports, or the lack thereof, the storm missed Red Deer entirely, but did cut a swath across the Eckville, Lacombe County, Bentley and city of Lacombe area, before heading northeast.
Brian Proctor, western Canada meteorologist with ECCC, says they received several reports of strange-looking spiky hail.
