Doesn't matter. Every user is responsible for anything he/she posts on here. If you're unsure of something, don't post it. And to make it REALLY simple, only post your OWN material, never post someone else's. You're "friend" is a rip-off artist taking other people's hard work and passing it off as his own. End of discussion (any more posts related to this will be deleted)

that georgian bay tornado is wild, everything was moving so fast this day. Kudos to whoever shot that, I still have somany pics to post to this site but I just fractured my hand . Takes to long to type things out now

[davefootball123]

This as the storm was in the Hamilton just after it produced the vaughan tornado. All i can say is wow i want another one cause we got smacked

[Itchy]

never saw this video of the Durham F2 and thought it was worth sharing. Really shows how dangerous the tornado was. Poor visibility, fast moving and very undefined........

I was watching a news report on August 20th this year the they made a mistake that really bugged me, they said the Vaughn f2 caused the fatality...Imagine if that family was watching
