N.B'ford is under water!

Heavy rain/hail dumped on the east side of the city, streets are flooded. Seen a guy in a canoe on 110th st. Hardly left the city limits - very strange t-storm.

Furrow, I was at a funeral in North Battleford today. 1:46 p.m. the sky opened. Strong wind, marble sized hail. I think the hail "capped" the drainage grates, there was running water everywhere, gushing out of culverts, the water on streets was at least deep as the bottom of the door on trucks. Crazy. Heading east (?) on hwy 40 leaving North Battleford it looks like crops were not even touched. Anywhere that system is going, there will be damage!!

funny thing was it went no where. It just hung over the city and pounded for about an hour or more then disapated. Got one canola feild on the east side of the ring road, canola on the west side not touched. Battleford got it too but not as bad from what I hear. State of emergency issued this afternoon on the north side of the river. There were litraly rivers and lakes of ice in intersections on the east side of the city.
