If you wish to know about western Canada's severe storm of the century, and see some colour photos of the damage, this account is for you.
In the decade since the Edmonton tornado, notorious hailstorms have, on occasion, sidetracked the life of most every Albertan. To inform homeowners of the potential damage, a section on recent investigations into shingle damage by hail is included
It is hoped that this report will help us look back to the fateful day when Edmonton was struck by the unimaginable.
