A violent hailstorm and flooding struck Calgary, Canada, on Saturday.

Storm stripped trees of vegetation and punctured the siding of buildings.

'A vicious hailstorm pounded Calgary, Canada, on Saturday, turning a summer day into a virtual winter wonderland as chunks of ice the size of tennis balls ricocheted out of the sky. Wind-driven hailstones shattered windows and windshields, peeled the siding off homes and businesses, and coated the ground several inches thick, making it a monochromatic icy landscape.

Trees were stripped bare in some areas where heavy hail shredded vegetation. Elsewhere, reports of funnel clouds accompanied the ominous storm as it churned through the city of 1.4 million.'>>>
