Doohicksie Posted July 30, 2018 Report Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) It was 87 at midnight this morning. It's 72 now. The rain finally broke through. When I was driving to work there were 30-40 mph winds out of the north. Weird. Edited July 30, 2018 by Doohickie Quote

Doohicksie Posted July 30, 2018 Report Posted July 30, 2018 And let's not forget 1987, when on this date, a tornado hit Cheektowaga. It missed the house I grew up in by a couple blocks. Quote

Just tons of debris flying around. Quote

Rain, rain, suddenly nothing, then just a wall of flying dirt and we were sort of airborne. Some of them are pretty amazing looking if you're far enough away to really see the structure, though.

Was your brother working at Town and Country when a guy with a shotgun was in the parking lot threatening to shoot up everything/everyone ovet a dispute with his landlord? It was the same year I think. I got caught in the intersection for that one too. Absolutely chilling to be trapped in gridlock with a guy waving a shotgun all over the place. Quote
Doohicksie Posted July 31, 2018 Report Posted July 31, 2018 Lol... I don't know I'll have to ask him! I missed all the excitement that year; we were living in Los Angeles and my first son was born a couple weeks before the tornado. Quote
hsif Posted July 31, 2018 Report Posted July 31, 2018 No tornadoes, but back in late August of '92 we got hit by a waterspout while fishing 3 miles out in Lake Ontario ........ that was exciting. Scared the crap out of everyone on board to the point that we quit for the day...... Spent the afternoon cleaning up crap. Quote

Speaking of which.... that was where my First Communion Party was, ca. 1970. Quote

The humidex reached 42 in Bedford (where we live ... about 15 KM, or 10 miles, from downtown Halifax) this afternoon at 3:00 PM. That's 108 for you yanks. This has been going on for 2 weeks, with no real end in sight. Never has been like this for such an extended period in NS. We normally get a day, or 2, like this each summer.
