Jesus murphy, Just got my power back after it went out around noon yesterday. The south side of town is trashed, roofs have been torn off, cars and trailers flipped. My BBQ is still missing. Did that weather make its way down to you folks?

We had thunderstorms and a lot of lightning but not as much as last time.

Yeah we had tornado watch warnings all day. Apparently a funnel cloud 5 miles south of the golf tournament I played in.

We got 11 holes in and RAINED out HARD!! I mean FUCKIN HARD!!!

Like picture me standing on a green with a golf umbrella, crouching on the ground while this sh!t storm pumbled us side ways.

EVERYONE was drenched head to toe. It was sort of neat but damn, it came fast and hard! A tree broke in half about 25 yards away from us at the last hole. What a sound!

Alliston, just north west of the GTA had a tornado touch down so I'm told. I was working last night at Buttonville airport and there was lightning all around (N, S, E, and W) from about 1800 - 0100 when I left. I assume it continued because it was increasing in frequency and intensity.
It was raining sideways here for a while. If I recall correctly, the winds were 250* at 28 gusting 38 kts (51 gusting 70km/h) Airplanes wanted to leave the ground (The majority of them can fly at 42kts btw...) We've had them flip over before by pulling the tiedowns out of the ground and whoop!

Well for a little while Pearson Airport was under orders to stop operations (flights got pushed back) because it was way too windy on the tarmac. Not to mention the rain that came with it.

Yup. I'll believe it. Yesterday was an easy day at work because we were on a ground stop for about 4 hours. lol

You all need to move to Belleville.

It's fracking boring here when it comes to storms. We watch the hype all day, and then "ppppttt", we get spat on for rain, a little woosh of wind and off it goes.

We got rain, a little lightning, nothing major.

I was staying in Point Prim but I just got back home in Quebec about an hour ago. With any luck we'll go back next year and maybe I'll have the dsm this time. Actually, I had it out there 5 years ago.
