Bro that's no joke; I've legit been terrified of Tornadoes since being a kid.... Legit panic attack from the sirens.... So bad that at age..... 10 or so, I took, passed, and got certified to be a storm chaser. Figuring that the more I knew the less scary it would be.

I've legit been terrified of Tornadoes since

For me it was the events of the late 80's in Edmonton. There was the catastrophic Black Friday event in '87, and then in '88 one hit the west end of the city. I remember watching the green and purple clouds rotating overhead just a few minutes before the tornado touched down about 30 blocks away, ripping the hell out of an industrial area.

Similar to watching the grizzly take down the young moose, some things just force you to confront your own insignificance and helplessness.

Yet another reason I'd do not so good in the South

Hell no it's not a joke; That's like an Ice Musket ball getting fired.

I'm likely the only one that noticed you casually dropping YEG yesterday.
You have no idea how much of a kick I'm getting, seeing you put your new experience and knowledge to use.

Thank you so much, my brothers.

Nothing to see here.

Despite being three days away from the official start of summer, some parts of Alberta are slated to see snow — and a lot of it, according to Environment Canada.

Better than Hugh's weather

I hope none of this shit came anywhere near you, @Jewels.

It's been thunderstorming here all day, to the point I shut down the PC for most of the afternoon. Got sick of the power flickering and rebooting it (still need a UPS). Luckily, no sign of any strange colours or swirling overhead though.

anywhere near you, @Jewels.

Thanks, for thinking of my crew, Amarok.

Truth be told, I been tenting all weekend, Family reunion.
🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶
Nine dogs, altogether.

All good,,,
and it got a lil shifty.

Hard temp drop came first.





And then the wind.
Moved away from the Poplars, set up under the Willows


Bazaar, seeing Three kids all get spontaneous nosebleeds, at the same time.

Gusts topped out at 60, so not too bad ( read : scary) at all, really.
My daughters hammock was absolutely buzzing from the oscillation.
Tents were flattened, @DopeDaniel style; but no rain. 😁

Happy Canada Day !
Too windy for fireworks, although the electrical show was a good compromise.
We had a gooder.

 

[OldG]

I had a few ideas.... but this helps show the size better.

Orox in a 45

super bush....its doing it all by itself

Sandy likes to lie in the shadow of the Orox bush.

Rest in peace, Seth.

They each got 3 cups of 2 5 4 top dress yesterday...and its getting WORSE...

Man, ol' Dermot's lucky it was a black bear.
Anybody wanna bet where the litterbugs were from?
