A devastating thunderstorm hit Edmonton on Saturday evening, surprising residents across the region.
Rain was unrelenting it brought down power lines and toppled trees.
Several parts of the city were left without electricity as the storm raged through.
Water from the rain filled buildings like the West Edmonton Mall and the Royal Alberta Museum in minutes and spilled onto surrounding streets.
Big roads turned into rivers, inundating 111 Avenue and Jasper Avenue, and compelling traffic to halt.
Two outdoor festivals got cancelled because of the flooding as water rose and forced organisers to pack up equipment.
Clean-up teams are working now to restore safety while residents hope for power to return.
City bosses called it the worst storm this season so far to date, promising prompt action to repair damage.
