Pretty heavy hail west and north of regina

[Blaithin]

Looks like the 70 km from Olds to Trochu is gone. Haven’t seen anything that looks much less than 100%. At Trochu it’s looking at least 10 km wide, north to south. Don’t know if it stayed similar the entire length.

Cereals were maybe 50% done here. Canola barely started. One of the better looking areas around and now it’s gone.

I farm between Churchbridge and Melville and I think missed most of the hail. There was a little bit last night south of Churchbridge and and a little this morning around 11 north of Grayson. But the rain, it rained. I was thinking we would maybe combine about 7-8 miles east of Melville this morning and east of hwy 9 there was no rain last night or this morning. Then around 11 the heavens opened and we got probably an inch in maybe 20 minutes. I have seems lots of pictures of large hail in yorkton this morning but looks like the system was just west of melville and moved along highway 10 until Yorkton.

Came as far North as Elnora, heard reports of canola hailed out 100% in the swath just a few miles east of there. We actually had just a sprinkle here.

Anything east of Elnora must have been an outlier. Heard just a sprinkle in Elnora and not a hail stone at work although it poured like a monsoon. Could see the hail in a wall a mile south. Not a word of anything east of Huxley or anything north of 587.

Heard the Hutterites lost all their canola except the one quarter they finished yesterday but it sounds like they’ve got it in a block somewhere down towards Trochu.

Two miles south of my yard. I got maybe 3/10 of rain. This line seems to more or less have gone straight east.

Sad to see so many areas wiped out

[the big wheel]

Especially if it was decent! That’s heartbreaking
Had that as I’m sure most have at some
Point either hail or frost etc just gone one
Day. When are we going to realize all this risk
Is not covered with what we have now.

These kinds of supercells with hail and winds are pretty unusual for end of August. At 6:30 am today we had a light shot of pea sized hail. Not sure if I have seen it hail in the early morning before.

Jazz, that pea-size hail was odd because there was no rain with it.

I hear a combine rushing home in the storm got hit by lightning, no fire but fried the entire electronic system, likely written off. Between Olds and Wimborne

Lost most of my crop one year at about 2:00 am, you just never know.

Same here in 2009, major building and machine damage and 100% hailed crop, havent been able to relax since with any kind of storm in the dark.

Just from the few farmers I have talked to near Regina. I can count a few hundred thousand bushels less canola out there now. Nasty widespread path destroyed of some of the nicest crops around. I bet this took 1,000,000 bushels out of canola production
