Heavy, rotating storms continued Thursday in northern Calgary and surrounding areas, prompting warnings from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) tornadoes.
One of the most notable tornado events was captured by the camera around 3:30 pm MDT by Kyle Brittain of The Weather Network:

In the late hours of Thursday afternoon, no injuries had been reported as a result of these storms.
In addition to possible tornadoes, the storms also featured strong winds, heavy rains and heavy hail throughout the region. ECCC warned that some of the storms were capable of producing hail the size of tennis balls.
