Intense flash flood in Calgary on Tuesday evening

What started like a normal warm August day ended in an insane flash flood at around 5 p.m. in the evening. There was a bit of lightning before hand but when the storm hit it hit hard with pounding hail and rain.

Here is some footage caught from the intense storm:
