All I can say is wow.
At about 2:45 p.m. this afternoon severe thunderstorms hit my area of Toronto. By 3 p.m. the front lawn and part of the back lawn had several inches of water covering it and naturally our sunroof in our enclosed front porch started to leak because the water was coming down hard off the edge of the roof. That’s the only time it leaks.
There was also lots of hail. Not as big as last weeks grape to golf ball sized hail, but plenty of small pea to grape sized balls of hail.
It’s still pouring! Oh and there’s lots of thunder and lightening too. I’m not sure how much rain has come down or how much we’re expecting but there’s a lot of it.
I was reading the Weather Networks severe weather report a few minutes ago and apparently there’s been funnel clouds spotted over Toronto and nearby areas. Great …
I did take pictures of the hail and the down pour but since I’m running the laptop on it’s battery to protect it from any power surges and I don’t want to transfer the photos from the camera right now. I will post the shots later if they turned out decent.
I hope that most of you aren’t getting the kind of weather we’re having here … it’s been a freaky week of storms. Time for it to warm up and be more summer like I think.
We are having hot dry weather in Tennessee. We are in desperate need of some rain. Hope there wasn’t any lasting damage!
Have a great week.
I’m beginning to think it might be a good time to invest in a small boat 🙂
Seriously though, this rain is just getting to be annoying. The only ones that seem to like it are the flowers.
Hope the rains do not cause much damage anymore..
We have had tons of rain up here. We went by the river the other day. Those poor people. We saw a few boat houses that had water up to the room. Just makes me glad that I don’t live near a river.
We’ve been having similarly insane weather also. We lost power for the entire day yesterday which was incredibly annoying. The upside is that I don’t feel so bad about forgetting to water my garden.
