Fire crews blocked off a section of downtown Calgary on Thursday morning after high winds caused several windows on an apartment building to break, showering the pavement with glass.
A wild wind storm whipped through the city on Thursday afternoon and cables, meant for window clearing, slapped up against a building in the 700 block of 5 Ave. breaking several windows.
As a result, 5 Ave. between 6 St. and 7 St. S.W. was closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic until crews could get up the side of the building and take care of the problem.
The road was reopened just after 11:00 a.m.
