加拿大環境部表示艾伯塔省目前有危險風暴，部分地區可能會出現小型龍捲風。
Main Body
Central Alberta has clouds that can turn into small tornadoes. These are called landspouts. They are usually weak, but they can be dangerous. People should find a safe place if they see one.
艾伯塔省中部有雲層可能會轉化為小型龍捲風。這些被稱為「陸上漏斗雲」。它們通常較弱，但仍可能具有危險性。如果民眾看到，應立即尋找安全地點。
Alberta had a cold spring this year. Because of this, there are not many big, strong storms. Most tornadoes this year were small and did not break things. Only two big tornadoes caused damage in the Peace River area.
艾伯塔省今年的春天很冷。因此，並沒有太多大型且強烈的風暴。今年大部分的龍捲風規模較小，未造成財產損失。僅有兩個大型龍捲風在皮斯河地區造成破壞。
Southern Alberta had very strong winds on Tuesday. In some towns, the wind was 135 km/h. This wind broke buildings in Calgary and Gleichen. Some people saw hail and tornadoes near Brooks, but experts are still checking the facts.
艾伯塔省南部在週二出現強風。部分城鎮的風速達到每小時 135 公里。強風導致卡加利與格萊琴的建築物損毀。部分民眾在布魯克斯附近目擊到冰雹與龍捲風，但專家仍在核實事實。
Conclusion
Central Alberta still has a weather warning. Experts are now looking at the damage in the south.
艾伯塔省中部仍有天氣警告。專家目前正在評估南部的損害情況。
