All tornado warnings and watches ended Monday evening for Edmonton and areas south of the city including Leduc, Camrose, Wetaskiwin and Tofield.

Severe thunderstorm warnings issued earlier for the city also ended. A number of areas south of Edmonton, including parts of Camrose, Leduc and Wetaskiwin counties, were under tornado warnings late Monday afternoon. They, too, ended Monday evening.

Heavy rains swept through Edmonton in the early evening. Epcor reported power outages in the west part of the city, including West Edmonton Mall, Wolf Willow and an area from 111th to 191st Streets and 39th to 101st Avenues. The outages caused traffic lights to go out at a number of intersections.

Heavy rain also caused flooding. Emergency officials had to close off an underpass at 127th Street and 127th Avenue to rescue a motorist caught in the rising water.

Firefighters were called to a home at 94th Avenue and 75th Street after a possible lightning strike caused a fire in the attic area. Crews found smoke and flames coming from the west side of the building.

No one was inside at the time and the fire was put out quickly.

"Nobody was hurt in this scene and damage pretty much was confined to the attic," said Edmonton Fire Capt. Wayne Shacker.

There was a rainfall warning in effect for Whitecourt, Edson, Fox Creek, Swan Hills, Hinton and Grand Cache, with heavy rains expected up to 50 to 70 millimeters.
