Tornado warning is over .... Toronto got hit pretty bad with storms and torrential rain ... 50mm in one hour .... town of Vaughan, north of TO declared a state of emergency, over 200 homes badly damaged ... we had quite the storm, but it looks like it's over for now ... still under a major thunderstorm warning for the rest of the night.

Just seen pics of Vaughan on the news .... roofs missing, barns flying through the air, trees uprooted, automobiles rolled down the street .... and no one was hurt!!!! Amazing.

And now it looks like Hurricane Bill will hit Atlantic Canada on Sunday ... seems like it will arrive as a category 2. Looks like it will get wild and wet on the Rock.

On Sunday my Daughter flies out after her holiday here in the UK. For the last 5 years she has lived in Vietnam, but is now moving to Zhuhai in China, I just happened to mention to her yesterday about this new place and I said it isn't near where all the bad weather has been lately, quite calmly she said ya right in the middle

I've just looked on google earth.
Be thankful that she is well away from, and not downstream of, Three Gorges Dam
Three Gorges Dam is a disaster in the making, China admits - Times Online

The link is throwing a 404 at me Margaret, I know that this place where she will be living is in Guangdong province, never heard of the city or the Province. I'll google it myself and see if I can come up with

What gorgeous weather we are having! Bright, sunny, nice breeze off the lake, going down to the low teens at night .... ah

And it will last though the week. Soon the trees will start to turn .... can't wait for Fall; beautiful season .... and hockey starts soon .... and the hunting seasons open up; and the fishing is still great .... will probably go out for duck and geese; but I think that this year I will shoot deer with my camera (finally decided to buy a good one, and to use it for something other than gathering dust).

I look out of my window and see the Tinker brook has risen by fifteen foot overnight, after all this torrential rain.
