Heh. Yeah, it’s late. With the storm ripping through Toronto, I was about to say that you’d think that the apocalypse was upon us. The news reports were all stressing the strength of the storm. If I’m being honest, I was taking it all very lightly. Well, oops.
Heavy rains, funnel clouds and tornadoes, storms clouds basically just squatting on Toronto’s face. From my point vantage point at home, it wasn’t as visually insane as a few Sundays ago when lightning was really having at it across the skies, but even so I could see the strength of the storm.
Mother Nature, I will not doubt you again.

My cousin sent me pictures of the craziness yesterday. She said she was in the pub and no one had any real care about it. And, if I’m being honest, I wouldn’t have been all that concerned about it either. More *because* I lived in a tornado hotspot than because I never have. I know what it means when the sky goes that sickly colour of green, but mostly I just ignore it until the rain passes and you get the orange sky. That’s my favourite part.
So I wouldn’t worry too much about not having taken it that seriously…but in the future, if the sky turns green, get inside.

Usually, it’s easy to ignore it because the kind of crazy stuff where pieces of timber fly into your window or having the roof torn off happens to “other people.” Plus, that kind of stuff hardly ever happens in this neck of the woods, so I never imagined that it’d be that bad. Then I heard of all the damage in Vaughan. That’s insane. Very very abnormal.
