Last Friday night, a small town 30 minutes straight south of where I live
was torn apart by an F4 tornado. Thankfully, no one was killed. A local
mill was damaged and 19 people are out of work for now. Article and

This was just a little too close for comfort for me. I live in a mobile
home and would have to run if I knew a tornado was coming. On Saturday
night there was a terrible storm in cottage country and 1500 cottages and
cabins were damaged.

Since we get severe weather here every summer I'm not going to hop on the
climate change bandwagon yet.

Yikes! I actually did hear about the horrible weather out your way. I
didn't realize how close it was to you though. I'm glad it missed you!
Stay safe!

Something else I didn't know, and only just heard about yesterday at the
barbecue/Canada Day celebration we went to... apparently a tornado touched
down a few miles south of where we live, and a funnel cloud had been seen
out over the lake to the west of us by a few miles. All that happened
during that wild storm we had last week. I really am going to have to at
least start checking out our local news more often to keep up on what's
going on. But then... ignorance is bliss, so they say! ;o)
