Tornado Watch...

[SilentJay]

Yeesh - earthquakes, tornadoes... Bring on the locusts!

[PR3Y11]

not gonna happen. it's aways waaaaay out there away from gta. the most we ever get is hail or severe thunderstorm
also they keep headlining "tornado watch toronto" but when they actually talk about it, they keep listing cities far from toronto :chuckle. those poor mountain folk

[malfunktion]

it happend to goderich you never know =0 TO THE BUNKER!!!

[PR3Y11]

goderich is so far away =P

[SilentJay]

I was just watching the news on a few channels - they all seem to indicate that essentially the entire GTA is under this swath of volatile weather.

[FULLSCALE]

Nothing too serious here yet... I'm 10 min from Goderich.

lmao bunker? im digging my 20 foot hole as we speak to bad my car wont fit

[SomeGuy]

In Kitchener - Just some light rumble and rain right now. Radar shows it'll be rolling into our area shortly though. I think the tornado watch is just a knee jerk reaction to the one in goderich though.

[Mitchell3]

I agree, I think the Goderich tornado has these people over worried. But you never know. They've already told people in several places to seek shelter: http://www.theweathernetwork.com/index.php?product=alerts&region=pr35&placecode=caon0356&productname=weather#Tornado%20watch

Should a tornado occur, the safety of the garage better save my car !

Edit: now that I look at a map, the places they are telling to take shelter form a semicircle around my house:s

[Darkice]

cover your CAI lmao glad i did my mod to keep water out :)

[Burner]

My parents and brothers live in Goderich. When the tornado hit, nobody knew it was coming. My brothers actually went down to the cliff overlooking the beach just before it hit and went running home just as it started to get to shore.

A little bit of a warning can't hurt.

From cai to Sri. Lets hope it doesn't happen till midnight

[JonsMazda]

I hear THUNDER!!!!

[JonsMazda]

Now i see lighting!

[Kaptain Sloth]

I do hope the hail is not of the "car destructive size" variety :-S

[Scottobot]

It was a nice storm here in Brampton but nowhere near severe.

[Thrizzl3]

i just got drenched in woodbridge. thunder so loud it scared the shit out of me and set off my car alarm. lightning strong enough to knock out the lights on hwy 7 between pine valley and islington ave's. damn and it is still storming here :(

[aZuMi]

Some crazy lightning here in richmond hill 5 mins ago.. it seems to have calmed down a bit though.

Insurance companies are gonna be busy as **** tomorrow!


CNE just got shut down early tonight

[Scottobot]

Yes I see it was much more exciting to the east. :)
I've been watching from my porch. The rain's picked up again so maybe it's not over yet.

[SomeGuy]

We're in the thick of it here, pretty crazy electrical storm so far but raining heavy but not insane and no hail yet. The lightning is the worst I've seen in a while.

[ottoyu34]

a bit of a downpour and lighting here at East Markahm

Omg. Be safe everyone!

[Mitchell3]

No more rain here, just lightning show! You can hear people cheer for the huge shots across the sky. :P Awesomeness.

Also fyi for other kitchenerz, apparently as of 9pm we're suppose to go into the basement asap :P.

[-RJ3-]

Cool. Gopro this lol

[SomeGuy]

One more from upstairs in my house, this is out a window hence the lack of noise and the storm has moved off a little ways...so just some cool bolts of lightning lighting up the sky.

[Scottobot]

Round 2 has been much more interesting in Brampton. :)

[-|CHECKMATE2012|-]

Getting a neat Light show downtown!!:cool

[m3rk]

LOL stayed at work a bit longer til the rain kinda died down because I left my umbrella in the car :bang

[07carbon3]

to me, it seemed nothing like a over reaction last night, saw nothing but lighting and heard thunder

[mazdabetty]

^ yep. People in TO tend to flip out and overexaggerate over nothing.

Kinda like how -20 in TO is considered a "deep freeze" when -45 is just another regular day in Ottawa lol :chuckle

[Slade]

Burlington got rocked pretty hard, Amazing view from 11stories up.

I have friends still without power. I kept seeing some green orb blowing up near Mapleview Mall. The OPP did not shut the skyway down, they were escorting people over 1 direction at a time.

did anyone get any good pics?

Nah, that was the BEST lightning I've seen in a while...1,000 strikes a minute says the radio, lol...:D

[bluemazda3]

nice......... ^^

hamilton just had some awesome lightning show... damn lit up the whole sky

[Slade]

I put my camera back inside once the wall of rain showed up, tried getting some shots but my ISO was set to 3200 WTF????

So my friends who live on Lakeshore in Burlington were just told they wont have power until 9pmish.

We've had twisters and tornadoes in markham.

[PR3Y11]

no we haven't that was maple area and that's the closest it's ever gotten and even then it was just minor hail for less than 5 mins

last night was lame. just another thunderstorm with some extra lightning. we just tend to not have them very often so everyone gets all worked up about it

[n00bMeiSter]

We most certainly have, about two years ago (in august) a tornado almost touched down near box grove ish area. and years before that a twister went through the reesor park area.
