Some very scary looking clouds forming in Fort Sask. Photo by Tony Stacey
The weather in Fort Saskatchewan has been extremely unpredictable and strange lately.
Wednesday, June 12th was no exception. What started out as a cool, cloudy day mixed with periods of sun turned into a tornado warning by late afternoon. It did get a bit windy, there was thunder and lightning, periods of hail and some very menacing greenish tinged skies, but in the end this all passed and everything was OK.
It was a legitimate tornado warning that had the City of Fort Saskatchewan telling residents to shelter in place. Again, this was only a precautionary measure and not meant to create any sort of panic or distress. As a wise man once said, "It's better to be safe, than sorry".
Below is a video of some cloud cover just outside the Mix 107 studio. If you look closely you will see how the higher set of clouds are moving opposite the lower, darker covering ones causing a slight swirl effect.
The next link will take you to the Mix 107 Question of the Day which gets posted on Facebook. Read reaction to the question and see how some residents reacted to the warnings.
I am no stranger to seeing storms and bad weather but it was a little more interesting for me this time simply because I am part of it as local media and I know that the public will be counting on us for up to date information.
I am happy to say that all turned out just fine, as I figured it would but it never hurts to keep your eyes on the sky and ears on the radio.

Andrew can drive a Golf Cart but can he Drive a Golf Ball? Photo by: Kassia Wood This week I was invited to golf at Fox Run Golf Course and a huge Thank you to Blaine for having me out.
I'm no golf-pro! I enjoy being outside and on a beautifully green course but don't expect me sink any Eagles, Birdies or pars. I golf for fun and relaxation and that's exactly what I got from Fox Run Golf course.
I was very impressed with the course and enjoyed my time immensely. If you never golfed Fox Run, we'll have passes to give away very soon. Keep checking our Mix 107 blog to find out when.
Here's a couple of videos and photo gallery of my time at Fox Run.
