Weather and Warnings

Four tornadoes in as many days makes a person feel like they need to be a bit more aware of what's going on around them, especially when you're away and not necessarily listening to the radio or watching t.v.. In our case, we're tuned in with the Alberta Emergency Alert app, which sends out notifications relating to floods, wildfires, tornadoes and road closures due to accidents or other such incidents. It works like a charm and it's free, so why wouldn't you want it on your phone. 

I can tell you that, thanks to the app, we knew there was some foul weather brewing well before it came along and we were watching the sky. Check out a few of the photos taken at our camp while we were there over the Canada Day long weekend and you'll see why we were a bit wary. If you can have an app that will warn you and help you avoid issues, then why not, especially when it costs nothing.

This weird cloud formation went by to the west of us and possibly had something to do with the tornado that was reported

It was really dark from heavy black clouds overhead, yet this big white cloud rolled by to the east, all lit up by the sun.

Threatening clouds all around

Look for the app with the red lightning bolt icon!
