TORNADO!!

3/11/2010

Well, big news here in Wellington.  We had a tornado today!!  Like, a real live (mini) tornado!  Maybe even two!  See?

It was actually a very nice day today up until about 4pm... Sunny, warm, very pleasant.  Then, all of a sudden, it got extremely windy and very dark, and minutes later it started raining HARD and sideways.  Now Mark and I were both in the city for work today, so we got to experience the crazy weather first hand.  Anyway, then I had to drive in this lovely weather to go pick Mark up, and that's when I heard the reports of tornadoes on the radio.  Apparently a few houses in the area lost their roofs, a garage door or two, and quite a few trees, but that seemed to be about it.  It was pretty funny to see all the people running for cover in the streets, wearing shorts and t-shirts.  Even funnier was the people on bikes riding into the wind, barely moving forward at all since the winds were something like 100 km/hr (that's about 60 mph).

But anyway, if you are interested (mom), check out this news report to see more pictures and details.

Now once we got home to Whitby, we were glad to see our house was perfectly intact, as was our newly built fence!  Woohoo!  BUT, our garbage bin had blown down the driveway, which meant our garbage was all over the lawn.  Oh well.  We survived our first tornado!  And really that makes it sound very dramatic, which is what I was going for. :)  But seriously, look at the bright blue sky on the right, and the impending doom on the left.  Changed just like that.
