On Saturday July 18 the city of Edmonton was struck with a series of thunderstorms. Two storms, in particular, were very powerful. Trees were knocked down, power outages were present across the city, people were stranded in the wind, rain and hail. Thousands of people were at Capital Ex when the storms hit. Eventually the exhibition grounds were closed down and the people had to leave. Unfortunately, the LRT was not running because of the power outage. There was pandimonium for a time. The winds that struck and the power of the storm was reminescent of the tornado of the 1980's. People hid in their basements and many were afraid. It truly reminded us that in the face of the strong powers of nature man is really helpless.
The forces that God has put in place in nature make us realize that we are human and our power is limited.
