Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 43001, member: 636"] Weather officials put Calgary under a severe thunderstorm watch Sunday morning. Environment and Climate Change Canada issued the alert at 11:30 a.m. The agency warned that dangerous storms could develop from early afternoon through evening. Travelers may face delays and drivers could encounter tough conditions. Lightning strikes and injures Canadians each year. Government forecasters issue severe thunderstorm watches when weather patterns favor dangerous storms. These storms can produce large hail that damages property. Strong winds may knock down trees and power lines. Heavy rain can cause flooding problems. People should head inside when they hear thunder because lightning poses serious risks. [/QUOTE]
