Re: Bad storm
One minute we were cooking supper (okat the OH was cooking supper, I was on BE
) the wind started howling, the sky turned black then you could see it coming..............pretty scary. Switched off everything to head to the basement, but had to watch as the sky was electric, the wind was incredible. Our street was like a river, debris flying everwhere.......................

Re: Bad storm
There was a lot of rain and that caused me to drive slowly which was unfortunate as I had take out Thai food in the car and it's better to get it home properly hot. By the time I got home it was hardly raining though the OH said that it had been as wild as she's seen.

Re: Bad storm
Trust me, its almost enough to put you off. Enjoying a good thunder banger is one thing... seeking shelter in the basement, not so much
There is more footage on the BBC news site, and a picture slide show on the globe and mail. At least one person was killed, somewhat surprising its not more, given the huge area last nights storm cells rolled through, both north and south of the border.

Re: Bad storm
I love storms too, but this was a bit scarier, especially when your at work, your kids are at home alone and your husband is busy driving past Vaughn and Woodbridge (where the touchdowns were) on his way home. This was a killer storm, so saying cool could be misconstrued.

Re: Bad storm
Very much so. That food came from the Seven Stars in Orangeville which isn't usually on my way home but I had to deliver eggs to Georgetown. I think I like the place on the south side of Queen in the Beach better, the one where the Nova fish bar used to be, but the Seven Stars is pretty good.

I will be in the Beach area tomorrow, and may take a look at your suggested Thai.

Re: Bad storm
Note that I also deliver eggs in Mississauga. At least I do when the ex isn't summering in Europe.
