The deputy chief of the Calgary Emergency Management Agency (CEMA) said 911 received six times the average number of calls during the storm. More than 100 service calls remained for trees that had been downed on Tuesday night.

“To our knowledge no one has been injured as a result,” said Sue Henry at an 8 p.m. press conference. “EOC was staffed with Calgary emergency agency staff who provided situational awareness and updates.

“The good news for Calgary is the predominance of the storm has passed.” Tweet This

Henry also confirmed EOC had received reports that a roof was blown off a residential complex in the city’s northeast, but did not have crews on scene. She said the impact of the storm on the city was widespread because of the way the rain hit the city’s catch basins.

The difference between a special weather statement, a severe thunderstorm watch and a severe thunderstorm warning

Environment Canada issues a special weather statement when there is potential for an event that may approach the warning or watch criteria.

A severe thunderstorm watch is issued when there is a good chance of severe weather developing.

A severe thunderstorm warning has four elements: winds greater than 90 km/h; hail greater than 2 cm; flooding rains; or a tornado.
