Torchageddon

Beyond insane that you weren't chasing and saw that! Also the debris nearly hitting those that were outside, wow. Glad your okay.

Amazing, so many views! This is the Lincoln one from hours ago. 1:33 gets zesty!!

Nightmare fuel! The shot with the foreground is one for the history files

From 30 minutes ago:

Caught the twister on Brett's stream few moments ago, was in a field now looking at large power line damage and trees shredded.

Also this:

I was in thick clouds all day until just before dark when the sun poked through for 30 mins, then I got a regular t-storm with the smallest sized hail briefly by 9pm. This is the 3rd hailer in 2 weeks; wasn't expecting any last night. Quality thunder but only 15 strikes detected.

I'm not in the MRGL contour but t-storms are expected later tonight here from TWN hourlies. Temp will be around 8C windchill of 4. Its evokes last April when I had that potent early morning sub-severe storms with the same temps. Two weeks ago today (Apr 9) I had multiple rounds of storms with a supercell that just clipped me - I had 5 mins of large pea to dime-sized hail with 90 strikes in an very short period of time. The skies were amazing all til sunset as another storm brought some more brief hail around 6:30pm; I can't call forth any memory of this happening since living here in Hanover. Will be among the best active days of 2024, just 24 hours after the total solar eclipse!

I got down to -2.5C/28F this morning, blue skies at least. Thankfully no wind which made it okay unlike the past 4 days of horrible chilly winds! Late last week it would be raining and dark overcast in the mornings and then clear up by mid afternoon seemingly 3 days in a row. First part of April was good but starting early last week wx has been terrible.

Locally and in Waterloo/Windsor just had their earliest 20C reading in recorded history! Got to 22C in Windsor. I didn't think I'd see Mar 8, 2000 beat for decades even with the warming climate since there is no correlation to first 20C reading on that. It appears to be sunny too, insane!!

After nothing earlier in the day, I started getting heavy snow at 7pm - within 40 mins I had 2-4 inches caking up everything good. Memorable!

Summer is also back imby, twn showing 20C! Thurs' low is supposedly going to be 16C, that's fun

Had the first frost of the season which is insanely late; I don't know if this is the latest I've ever seen but top 2 for certain. Somehow up til now we never went below 2C but overnight it was -1C maybe a tad cooler. My forecast busted too low showing -4C with windchill at -8!! There wasn't even any wind when I went out there lol. The largest shift in my climate is how late the frosts on avg are getting.

Neat fall day, the winds were coming from the NE so I got all these low clouds coming from Georgian Bay, extreme wind shear was visibly apparent.

Just about every possible conceivable parameter to make today a rotten one was in place: very windy, rainy, dark, cold at 6C feeling like 3 after the near hot temps we had 5 days ago. Its a classic near the lakes getting this lake effect rain in Oct. 53 mm/2" since the start 4 days ago.
