Scary storm

Hope everyone is staying safe with the storm that is going through.

Re: Scary storm

  • We went to the basement for a little bit!! It was as black as night here, and the thunder was happening at the same time as the lightning... Radio said there were funnel clouds only a few km's away.. but it's brightened up and it's light rain & no lightning now!
  • What a freaky storm! There was a Tornado up at Vaughan Mills mall..and then up at Hwy 7 area..craziness. Definitely scary.

  • We're ok - Thanks for asking!!

    DH and I spent 1 hrs emptying buckets from our flooding basement window! The good news is that we now know where the leak is from and can fix it easily and we were also safe incase a tornado did pass by!

    My MIL lives in the Rutherford & Hwy 400 area and they were bad! She called us every 15 min to make sure we didn't get hit. A few neighbours or hers lost chunks of their roofs and trees are down everywhere. Thank goodness they are ok but OMG scary!

  • They have a tornado watch on for Kingston right now - yikes! Hope it passes quickly - it hasn't made it this way quite yet. I've just been seeing the sky light up a lot, and it's windy/humid.
  • I can't believe I slept through it.

    Actually, it wasn't that bad. The rain wasn't any worse than the worst storm this year, neither was the lightning or wind... But the sky went black (at 6:30pm) and then green, which is when we turned on the radio to find out it was a tornado warning so we went to the basement!! The worst of the storm hit Woodbridge/Vaughan which is just north of us, and is actually where we were originally looking for a house :S scary!!

  • It was wicked.  Just like something out of a movie.... which is where I prefer it would stay from now on!
  • We were in the basement for about an hour. It was dark and then it went orange and then dark again. Scary for sure.

    I must be lucky! ?I noticed the power went out at my work, but nothing in my end of town.

  • The power went out at Joe's work 7 times during it (cambridge) but it didn't go out here. Apparently it went out in Brantford too.

  • We were camping and had no idea what was going on...we spent the afternoon and evening at the beach and then went in our tent when the storm started.  Who knew?

  • The studio lost power for about 30 minutes, but that was the worst of it where I was.
