Batten down the hatches...

It is not a non event here. Started blowing this afternoon. Standing canola whipping around unbelievably. At least it rained late afternoon, so the pods will be a bit less brittle. Still gusting enough to be scary. And we are just past the northern edge of the wind warning. Two trucks tipped over on hwy 2 north of Red Deer, that doesn't happen around here, supposed to be a southern AB thing.

Any empty bins still standing, but suspect a lot of trees are not.

Only lost a few swaths here thankfully. Almost lost a tarp with 2 men. God looks after fools.
Tenth of rain didnt need. At least power back on.

Heard of two train derails. One north of Trochu with about 50 cars blown over and one at Wainwright where it blew off the trestle bridge.

Here in southeast Alberta big winds are blowing over powerlines and starting fires the towns of Leader and Burstall are evacuated and just in the last 20 minutes the town of Empress is being evacuated fires either heading their way orclose by winds still 60-90 km. Its real hard to stop any fires with these winds hope they start going down soon.

It's howling here , highest was 89 so far
But that's minor compared to some areas I hear. Hope those wildfires in the south don't take any lives .
Several towns on evacuation orders
