Here in Cobourg, ON winds are up to 40km with gusts up to 50. And the power is flickering.

40 mins north of you and it's just grey. Not much wind.

Why are you in Cobourg when it says Van on your thingy?

My word, the apocalypse appears to be nigh. Quote CBC news, live from somewhere in the GTA:

"It's looking bad, there are some garbage cans that have blown over near where I'm standing"

Lord have mercy on us ;)

Enough of that frivolity. We just had a power cut. Almost 35 seconds.

I'm off to my storm bunker, oh yes.

I can share my depends with both you and Bats. I'm good like that.

Been watching the coverage on CNN - be interesting to see what happens when high tide / storm surge hits.

Oh my, oh my. Have you a generator? What if the ice melts and you have to have your G n T lukewarm? Nothing worse than a lukewarm beverage.
