Episode Details

Edmonton just shattered its summer rainfall record with over 500 millimetres this season — and the deluge didn’t stop there. A storm last Saturday dumped 30mm in just one hour, whipping winds to 94km/h, flooding streets, shutting down roads, and forcing the cancellation of a major Post Malone concert mid-show. Thankfully, no injuries were reported as fans were safely evacuated. Cleanup crews are still battling debris and reopened roads, while key spots like the Peter Hemingway Aquatic Centre and Fort Edmonton Park’s Indigenous Peoples Experience remain closed. The city’s now seeking disaster aid from the province to cover millions in storm damage, with more applications expected as they assess the latest round of chaos. This relentless summer weather is taking a serious toll — and Edmonton’s fighting to get back on its feet.
