Hail storm destroys roof on University of Calgary greenhouse (original video)

[GreenmeGo]

So bad

[happinesson]

I was stunned by how the hail totally damage the greenhouse!

[Bastiano1010]

Well...at least the plants got watered.

[cyclestring]

glass roof looks like a melting ice. . fast speed at the end is cool! :)

[resinator1]

holy shit, cool vid man, alberta is famous for this shit, i used to live in edmonton,

Black friday

[TaniaSSmith]

Wow, I love how you show the whole thing again at fast speed at the end. it looks like almost every window got broken. Thanks for making this interesting video.

[xsilverspringx]

@DKKRECORDS It's a greenhouse. It NEEDS a glass roof.

[Shoshiko]

It looks like it's melting.

[TheLizzifer]

Well, almost a year later and there's still no glass on the greenhouse.

[termhip]

@TheLizzifer That's Campus Infrastructure for you.

[counterclockwise123]

Do you think the few panes left consider themselves lucky?

[matske2102]

i think its broken

[mrkingfed1]

working on it!

[mrmulkena]

the windows broke

[ErrorOnUsername]

Chuck Norris is just trying to make a snow cone!

[AlexSchneider21]

i lol'd at the storm!! because i got this Vw Gt-R passat 01' and i owned the hail and the flooded streets +1

[wsss]

@AlexSchneider21 LAWLCOPTER

[hebneh]

Presumably the roof was replaced with stronger, possibly laminated glass - the next hailstorm will not be able to punch out nearly 100% of the panes in just seconds, as happened this time.

Nature in the raw is seldom mild.

[1guylaughing]

nice footage.

[desigangster05]

gone in 60 + 74 seconds ; )

[OldaurGold]

this is so funny

[Altairis0]

@dallimamma You had to push chinese race in this? I imagine they produce whatever keeps them out of poverty like most countries do now adays

[dallimamma]

@Altairis0 Sorry, I wasn't "pushing" any race in particular, except the obvious race for global extinction, by those who keep us un poverty, and cause an endless stream of political excuses, and weather war misery.

[dallimamma]

Hey, k420w, EISCAT = EURO-Russian Woodpecker/HAARP/ caused 12 years of California drought.

Weather control patents can do anything, re-route the jetstream to cause floods, droughts, earthquakes, tsunamis - you name it, bought and paid for with our money.

[RETIREMESOON]

I tell you it's like that 1960's movie "THE TIME MACHINE"

And then the war broke out and it destroyed ..... the window panes ....cool

[Chloe110101]

oh shit, that sucks! lol

[seasonsbleed]

note to cheapskates.... use better glass.

[dallimamma]

Chemtrails and HAARP blankets make ungodly disasters more deadly than ever. Drowning in a sea of patented, invisible scalar waves. Positive ions scatter Mother nature's critical survival frequencies, shrivel our harvests and shatter our immunity. GMO seed will be all that survives this devil's cocktail of aluminium, barium and god knows what else. Do you remember that weird snowfall in early August that hit SW Calgary a few summers back? Didn't think much of it then, but I sure do now.

[kombat420wombat]

@dallimamma are you high son?

[lulem400]

maybe use plexiglass next time : )

[ferrariallday]

This greenhouse was about 40 years old and the glass wasn't tempered so they couldn't do anything about the hail so now 100 grant is going to have to go into replacing the plants and getting stronger glass!

[karnvir]

@ferrariallday 100 grand*

[droppinsumfudge]

@ferrariallday how much is 100 grant in normal people currency?

[TaniaSSmith]

@droppinsumfudge 100 grand = 100 thousand dollars (Canadian)

[droppinsumfudge]

@TaniaSSmith forget it... it was a joke but you obviously didnt get it

[CanadianBear47]

u would think they would have some thing stronger then just glass in there we get hail like every year

[tinyfury69]

it sounded like elephants were dancing on the roof of my shop when this storm hit.

[jimmycrackedcorn225]

THat's for taking $20,000 of my hard earned money and giving me a useless piece of paper for it!

[heysweetie]

it was golfball sized hail .... a lot of my friends had their car windows smashed. Apparently the damage at the university was more than 100 grand.

[BRANSCOMBEx]

That was WILD!! I been in Calgary for about ayear or so and that may have been the wildest rain/hail storm I've seen!!

[rengifo0987]

they dont have to water the plants

[joeleb]

@rengifo0987 you are correct, sir! and that is because the plants no longer require hydration when they are dead.

[moneyman10k]

maybe they should have built a greenhouse that wouldnt break from hail IDIOTS

[19Marek88]

@moneyman10k : You realize that car windows got smashed in, and entire bodies of cars were dented right? Perhaps it was a freak storm... Idiot.

[moneyman10k]

@19Marek88 PERHAPS THE CARS SHOULD BE MADE OUT OF DIAMONDSSSSSS

[Eidola]

I remember we had to pull over somewhere because we couldn't see shit; we were driving home from CrossIron Mills. I swear, the north always has the worst weather. The hail was the size of marbles..

[spongebob555hi]

@RayWilliamJohnston what i cant hear u, did u say: "fuck me dog, kiss out your hickory sticks nowhere nice fro"

p.s thats not nice to god

[spongebob555hi]

@RaymondLau123 its not fake, that guy used a digital camera/ or camcorder to videotape it, hailstones r powerful to destroy weak glass so if u think its fake its not. but if a person videotapes a ufo than thats fake

[awksee]

OMG

not fake!



[99bales99]

There goes all that weed...

[SleepingGiantsSister]

Wow, that's a bummer, I hope they were able to salvage some of the plants. I wish our University had something like that.

[s0cc3er24]

@RayWilliamJohnston your a retard.

[SomePerson254654]

@s0cc3er24 *you're

[Celtic77Warrior]

Yeah a hailstorm came up to the Vermillion county way, Lloyd got hit but not as bad as Calgary, poor farmers up here are losing alot of their crops this years, floods were bad enough but this totally destroys crop, some fucked up weather this year!! Where's the sun on the praireies??!!!

[Kraziliak]

@TheInnerScoop You DO know that greenhouses do not create greenhouse gases right? ... Right???

[bmoneydestroyer]

@TheInnerScoop ummmmmmmmmmmm maybe its because the roof is made of G L A S S.

and what does the other comment mean? you arent implying that green houses pollute the earth i hope...............

[medal07]

shit



[MasterWasp74]

at 1:32 you can see a bird fly by near the center of the screen. I wonder firstly, what it thought it was doing, and secondly, if it didn't get pelted to death by the giant hail ...

[bmoneydestroyer]

wow and my friend was complaining about his little lettuce patch

[Luckyxseven]

Are those big black thing solar panels?

[raythegardener]

God laughs and says "Like shooting fish in a bucket"

[Aaron755]

CURSE U MOTHA NATURE!

[ravenouspali]

musta needed to be watered

[Infofan]

I was at work at CrossIron Mills and the hail was fantastic. I learned later from customers how much damage had been caused back in Calgary...

[nopopallowed]

@Infofan i work at cross iron...

[BigG99]

@Infofan love crossiron mills.. lol... was just there.. do you work in the big bass shop?

[jc57680]

damn that hail's turning it into swiss cheese

[kopwner]

suck if you where in there

[Fraggle24]

Oh no.. Did the student bodies supply of weed for this year get destoryed?

[jared091787]

@Fraggle24 weed and opium, why God? why?

[ferrariallday]

This is my dads greenhouse,it is on top of the Science A building! He was pissed at this hail but what can u do?

[aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy]

i would be running around outside naked. feels great

[joeleb]

@aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy feels great getting hit on you bare skin with golfball-sized pieces of ice. yeah, man. i know what you mean.

[aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy]

@joeleb lol

[seasonsbleed]

@aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy nothing like a hail stone in the nuts to kick start your day.

[HaggardFlea]

@aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy You must be in ski club....

[termhip]

@aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy I was in the library (the tall building in the middle) when this storm came through. The hailstones were solid ice, bigger than golf balls, and came down hard enough to destroy out car windshields... trust me, you would definitely NOT want to have been outside in this.

[SanguineSkies]

Take that, environmentalists! Even Mother Nature hates you!

[LibanPhotography]

Time to use stronger glass. 

[AnimatorLinden]

YRACS UOY ERUTAN NMAD

[okpapereat]

great no more school

[dallimamma]

Derek, guys, this is NOT WEATHER!!! It is a patented event now, bought and paid for.

Look at the weird lights in the sky. Look on here for HAARP and its path of carefully timed destruction.

[MasterWasp74]

@dallimamma

I think those lights are what some call "lightning" - they say its not uncommon near such weather phenomenon. ;-) JK - HAARP is an incredible machine but Calgary hail wouldn't be a project.

[jayviranirules]

up goes tuition

[EasternFreakOUT]

Thumbs down for Mimo10s, DerekTheGrape has a cooler name so thumbs up for him oh and he says Damn Nature, You Scary! better then Mimo10s

[kimhalim]

What genious decided to put glass on top of a roof.

[MasterWasp74]

@kimhalim

It's a whole new concept - I think they're calling it a "Greenhouse"

[LibanPhotography]

@kimhalim  It's a greenhouse. It needs to be glass.

[mikelching]

@kimhalim the same one that decided that they should creat something called a Greenhouse to put plants, flowers, and other natural things in...... they need the Sunlight hence the Glass Roof

[bigbradford69]

hopefully someone died

[jeepingnet]

Sweet video paul

[ytzpilot]

Why would they put windows like that in Calgary where storms like this are more common????

[idlestation]

@ytzpilot

Because its a university.. they can just increase tuition cost for students to pay for a new roof later on.

[eatmyshorts2007]

DAME NATURE U SCAWWWY

[pwnsomenubs]

also destroyed the hood of my car

[angelhatz]

weired weather... 

[combat1con]

what it was snowing in July in Alberta?

[RudeLeaf]

@combat1con No, it rains during July-August every now and then, but the weather in Calgary can change dramatically.

[kittycatapple]

and they want to save the environment

[Khasseng]

pwnd in 2 minz lol

[Catsscratchfever]

AHHHHHHHHHH  MY POT PLANTS!!!!!!!!!!!! FFFUUUUCCCKKKKKKKK

[CanadiansRCrazy2010]

LOL

[InternetAddict2012]

I was in there taking a shit!!

[Kasayk310]

Oh they we're just the cheap plastic. You know it todays world, you need something durable. Cause you never know when its going to break and somethings going to get in, and fuck everything up.

PS: this was a condom joke, just for anyone who didn't get it

[Jjgreat9]

country fuckers

[william097]

I LIVE IN CALGARY THAT WAS SOME SCARY SHIT THAT HAPPENED THE HAIL WAS AS BIG AS BASEBALLS

[RudeLeaf]

@william097 You're a fucking liar. The hail was as big as 1cm is diameter.

[xXichibanBaller]

@RudeLeaf more like one DM, the hail raped my tree.

[dyingangelo]

the hail was not that big

[username290494]

YOU SCARY DAMN NATURE

[nevmiles]

Damn! Nature, you are scary!

[Like3moAMAZINGG]

LOL owned.

[solitaryy]

Don`t worry at the end of a hail storm there will always be a DOUBLE RAINBOW

[GirlWitWings]

Crazy!

[IIIMastermineIII]

that's the greenhouse effect i always hear about?

[leisakimonechristie]

Whooaaaa!

[proudestmikey]

wow!

[kylelillie]

I guess they'll use this as an excuse to raise tuition again. "Replace Window Fee"

[Kaalec]

Yawn

[ftart]

i guess its time to put up the new frames.

[JonasC22]

I remember when I was a kid in Grande Prairie me and my dad were in a car when it started hailing marble sized chunks...it was so loud in the car we couldn't hear each other though we were screaming at the top of our lungs. It lasted about 5-10 minutes, and when we looked at the car there was lots of little dents and chips in the paint. It was pretty freaking cool.

[henzoparty]

mother nature is a badass

[henzoparty]

mother nature is a badass

[Blindar]

LMFAO

[VonLincoln1]

Mrdumbfuck is an idiot

[VonLincoln1]

Think of the positive side. The plants got watered. :)

[chamale1]

@VonLincoln1 Yeah, but on the downside, those plants were being used for research and the experiments are contaminated now. Also, the plants are covered in bits of broken glass.

[azn28flip]

BukoL

[McdonaldSpecial]

haha, great architectural design. LOL. Especially knowing what Alberta weather is like. Morons.

[halcyon0830]

How was that possible, it looked like rain and some snow.

[raymanlegy]

@halcyon0830 you should see my car. Windshiled broken, Dents from front to back. The metal frame around the windows are dented too hah

[whiskers123]

@halcyon0830

We call it hail. Its frozen chunks of water! 

[graysoniscool100]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Reitoufication]

Oh god that storm was horrible and the thing is we had one the day before too but it wasn't as bad

[blobofblue]

The hail was intense.INTENSE

[levim14]

lol those hailstones were BIG AS FUCK they fkin hurt

[fmsfju]

shit man the whole roof is gone 

[lexxosup]

Yeah, my parents cars, both of em are trashed because of this :| mother nature I hate you!

[ILWPOYT]

@lexxosup

same here, luckily we didn't get it too bad in the NW so my parents' got trashed at work, mine... untouched ;)

[Mimo10s]

DAMN NATURE U SCARY

[skyblue2567]

Hey im in edmonton and it hailed BAD here too and was the size of a golf ball then it stopped, lol

[naruxhinatreyy]

Nature > People.

LMFAOO.

[Arkayify]

when i looked up at the sky from my window, it looked like tons of paintballs were rushing at my face.

[MrKoolastic]

i wonder how much it will cost to replace each window panel??

[ggqbc]

I guess this is gods way of saying stop killing horses!!!

[davBIGHOUSE]

@ggqbc wtf..... are you a victim of mental retardation?

[fmsfju]

@ggqbc

what horses?!

[Mkamalid]

dammit more construction onsite !

[robelp91]

@Mkamalid HAHA! And when the hailstorm started I was just passing by the engineering block

[gKangaroo17]

the weatther in calggary just plain sucks :(

[DerekTheGrape]

Damn Nature, You Scary!

[bogdan1231]

@DerekTheGrape

need for bullet proof glass...

[nuke7777777]

OWNED!

[dykema8]

i ran out in this storm for fun, it looked like i had been hit with a paintball gun repeatedly on my back after being out in it for 10 seconds

[yamaha12345678910]

Heh. Nature destroying a house used for conserving nature. IRONYYYY~

[goldenjabba]

@yamaha12345678910 ...FTW

[Flaxalf]

glad I don't have to clean that up

[butterfly8811]

yeah...i was at the stampede! everyone was running for cover!! fun to watch!

[MegaAfroGuy]

my family was driving back from drum heller and we heard this on the news, we spent 3 hours skidding around on a fire road to get away from the storms

[realbitchndiva]

Why would you even have a glass.. roof?

Like I know, I requested a glass roof for the green house.. and stuff.

But I ask for a lot of things.

Geez.

I know it wasn't my fault.

[samuelarchambault]

@realbitchndiva Seems like its plastic

[realbitchndiva]

@samuelarchambault I REQUESTED 100% GLASS. I have no idea why it turned out like this. Someone is going to get fired, that's for sure. Construction or Management? Which one should I fire?

[codmarter]

It was a bad storm. I was eating at a little Italian place in the south of Calgary and the roads started flooding! We drenched ourselves getting to the car and the worst part is were still experiencing bad weather.

[GameLevelEditor]

Its like a video game see how many windows you can knock out.

[Atheos27]

UofC is in my neighborhood. Go to Shishka99's channel and look at the video my son took of the hail that blew through the skylight into our hallway. He only caught the aftermath unfortunately.

[Atheos27]

Holy Fuck Batman!!!

[Snakewoman1969]

wonder what happened to everyone's research in there - can't be good...
