Summary
A monstrous thunderstorm slammed Edmonton Saturday night, turning streets into rivers and forcing evacuations as Whitemud Drive shut down between 156 and 178 Street—underpasses turned into lakes, cars stranded in two-foot-deep water, and firefighters rescued trapped residents. The deluge overwhelmed drains, sending geysers of water shooting from manholes, while Yellowhead Trail and Jasper Avenue also flooded. K-Days attendees scrambled for cover, and a Post Malone concert was cut short. Emergency services were overwhelmed—911 lines flooded with calls, prompting police to urge non-emergency issues to use 780-423-4567 (or 377 from within the city). Environment Canada had warned of severe weather: damaging winds, large hail, and tornado risk west of the city. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
