Hi all. Our region took a pounding weather wise yesterday evening and would you believe we missed it all while we enjoyed a late anniversary meal in Barrie's Red Lobster restaurant.
Our home town along with several others in the storms path were, hammered with huge wind storms, thunder, lightning and lots of rain. So far there are a 3 or 4 confirmed tornado touchdowns out of 11 possibles throughout the region and one of those was somewhere around our town.
There were downed trees along some roads but Emmy's mom was one of the lucky ones as a tree in her rear yard with a 9 inch trunk was sheared off at about the 8ft level. That went down in the forest just over the fence or it would have landed on top of their house.
When we returned, the power was out everywhere but ours came back around 11pm. Today the inner town is powered up but street and traffic lights are all still out, which is odd.
What did we actually see? A little heavy rain and a few ominous clouds. You could say we were lucky but I'd have liked to see it from our house as the storm passed by.
