Rogers Place gets water damage in severe thunderstorm, won't slow hub city plans - Edmonton Journal

Article content continued

The storm had let up hours before, but by late Thursday handfuls of hail, chunked together like snow, floated on top of water which was a few centimetres deep and covered the entire room at Ford Hall. Yellow caution tape was wrapped around the exterior of the building.

A now-deleted video posted on Reddit, which appears to have been shot inside the facility, showed water streaming down from the ceiling, pouring into an atrium and pooling near the base of the escalators and stairs at one of the entrances.

At the entrance on the north side of 104 Avenue, a large puddle of water gathered at the base of the stairs and escalator. Outside, there was a small pile of hail that looked to have been shovelled to the side.

East of that entrance, workers were seen using large brooms to sweep water out the door. A van from a carpet cleaning company arrived and workers went inside.

Multiple yellow vans belonging to an emergency and disaster relief company entered the building through a side entrance.
