A fast moving storm dumped enough rain to impact CTrain service in the city’s south and some streets near Chinook Centre were overrun with water during Tuesday's drive home.

The 911 Call Centre handled a number of calls from Calgarians about flooded roads and streets after the skies opened up at about 4:15 p.m.

The heavy rain flooded the CTrain tracks at Chinook Station and shuttle buses were set up to take riders between the 39^th Avenue and Heritage Stations. Service was restored at about 5:00 p.m.

Enmax reported power outages in several communities and about 2800 people were without electricity for a short time. Crews continue to work to restore power to the affected areas.
