"[Edmonton] is experiencing heavy rains that have resulted in some flooding at intersections in neighbourhoods in the south and east part of the city," a news release from the City of Edmonton said Saturday. The release said there was also flooding at the intersection of Whitemud Drive and 99 Street.

Fire crews kept busy

While the city was pelted with severe weather, fire crews were busy responding to fire calls — despite the rain. Crews were called to an apartment building off Rutherford Road at around 3:30 p.m. after reports of a fire caused by a lightning strike.

They arrived to flames coming from the roof. The conditions made fighting the fire difficult, as they could not access the blaze from the inside and were unable to set up a ladder due to active lightning.

Crews did eventually get to the fire, however, and declared it out at around 4:30 p.m. Residents were allowed back into the building.

Robert Bend of Edmonton Fire Rescue Services said there were a lot of calls going out at the time of the storm — but he crews were prepared for it.

"We just expect an increase in activity, so we take it as it comes," he said.
