Over a dozen millimeters of rain came down in a span of 20 minutes during an intense thunderstorm that rolled through the Prince George area last night (Wednesday).
Pea-sized hail fell in the Giscome area just outside of city limits.
Environment Canada Meteorologist, Matt Loney told MyPGNow.com the fast-moving system wasted little time flexing its muscles.
“These storms were intact but they were a system. It was a thin line that moved through so from a ground perspective, you would have noticed it packing a punch for a period of time before dissipating.”
In total, 15 mm of rain fell over a span of three hours. Wind speeds ranged between 60-80 kilometres an hour during the storm.
The storm caused some damage to various parts of the city.
Thursday’s conditions call for a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 17 degrees.
