We had a tornado in Fredericton!
Gosh...just when I had finished feeling fed up with the winter, the summer has proved equally noxious.
Massive thunderstorms today, took out the power to our office, and water came in all over. Tonight it was 'RibFest' and I was out in the Exhibition Centre with a number of Air Cadets (as they had volunteered to pick up rubbish...and the recyclables) when it came back!! I've done India in the monsoon, and this was far worse. It came like a tidal wave. Really scary actually. I just got the kids all home and my son showed me a picture of the tornado over the Exhibition grounds. Also....guess who left the window of her car down:unsure: Had to tell someone..so it's you lot! Atlantic Canada really does seem climatically challenged:blink: |

Was your car absolutely soaked?! Glad you're all ok! |

Glad you are all safe |

Athabasca wild fires, unprecedented flash flooding in Texas and now a scary tornado in NB (the latter clearly a near miss aimed at the Newfies). It's OK though, I'll be back in NW Europe in time for the Gulf Stream to turn off. |

I remember reading that NB has more UFO sightings than elsewhere. |

Re: We had a tornado in Fredericton!
Tornado's scare the living out of me, when I lived in Milwaukee they had these sirens that would go off when there was a warning for them, luckily there never was one, but those alarms made my heart skip a beat.
Hope the weather becomes less severe for you out that way. |
