The Edmonton Tornado and Hailstorm: A Decade of Research


by: Robert B. Charlton, Bradley M. Kachman, Lubomir Wojtiw
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences 1
University of Alberta
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 2E3

If you wish to know about western Canada's severe storm of the century, and see some colour photos of the damage, this account is for you. 

In the decade since the Edmonton tornado, notorious hailstorms have, on occasion, sidetracked the life of most every Albertan. To inform homeowners of the potential damage, a section on recent investigations into shingle damage by hail is included

It is hoped that this report will help us look back to the fateful day when Edmonton was struck by the unimaginable. 

1 The current affiliation of the authors to the Department is informal.

This report was published as a Special Issue of the CMOS Bulletin SCMO, Vol. 26, August 1998, ISSN 1195-8898 

The price of this report is $10.00, postage included.
