On the topic of weather ... had quite an interesting night tonight.
After the umpteenth mini-power-outage, our head of EHSS rung in to ask us to review the tornado procedures, as the entire county was under watch for a goodly portion of the night. (The lightning show at lunch - which starts at 9pm for us - was very intense indeed! The smokers who ventured out said it was unreal over on their side of the building. One coworker was speaking with her bf who said a lightning strike had hit right in front of him while he was driving home; many had children and spouses on the phone assuring them they were in the basement, had all the pets and spare water just in case, etc.)
Apparently there were a couple of tornado sightings in Ontario tonight, although my hometown appears to have been spared again ... driving home was a bit of a slalom though, around downed trees and all sorts of stuff blown everywhere. I passed a crew out (at 2:30am!) clearing power lines. We have some branches on the driveway here, but nothing major that I could see as I came in, which made for a nice surprise.
