July 31st storms. Leduc, Camrose, Edberg

Went at first to Leduc where the hail came down hard enough to make it look like winter, after hat I headed east in hope to get in behind a huge meso that was bearing down on Ponoka, the storms are racing by at more than 60km/h making the chase frustrating. I ended up going as far east as Edberg(SE of Camrose) to try and get ahead of the storm and still got cored. After the storm raced by I enjoyed some of the light-show. Watched it without photographing it as I'm sitting on top of hundreds of shots from 2011 alone and only looking for specific stuff(lightning striking buildings, trees, ground,etc, and the really good anvil crawlers)
