Here’s a composition of photos and videos of today’s flooding.
Edmontonians experienced quite a bit of flooding earlier today, and social media filled up with photos and videos of said floods rather quickly.
Here we’ve embedded all of the photos and videos for you to view within the comfort of your own homes, rather than going out and checking it out for yourselves. Of course, all media is owned by their respectful publishers.
Here are some photos and videos:

Here we have a massive puddle:
This happens every year in capital city, but for some reason nothing seems to be getting done to rectify the issue.
To anyone that got stuck or stranded by the flood waters, I hope that rescue came your way quickly, and that you were not hurt at all.
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING — One man wasn’t too lucky however. He was leaning on a tree when the tree got struck by a lightning bolt, which of course, travelled into his body as well. This man was part of a working crew. He fell to the ground shaking. Emergency crews treated him on scene, then rushed him to the hospital. He is in stable condition however, so thank goodness for that.

Between Wetaskiwin and Camrose our in the country and we got nothing…
Weird everything was fine in Fort Saskatchewan till today
:O Are you guys getting a bit of flooding today?
Just lots of hail and rain. I haven’t seen any flooding yet on the street near my apartments but It looks like it snowed from hail. Just drove home 40mins ago and highway was fine but I couldn’t see while driving so probably minor flooding now
Looks like things got pretty bad! :O I wrote an article: https://yegne.ws/2avcLyu
99ave in Fort
