My beef is that when you look at the first page of "The Truck Stop", there are multiple posts bashing EC. Heck why not make that a sticky topic and go wild! This is a weather forum, lets talk about the WEATHER. All the EC complaints have been discussed over and over and over and over etc. I know I've grown old of it and that's why I don't visit much. I know others who feel the same way. I just want to see some cool weather photos and read some weather discussions. This site has great potential - don't ruin it. And I'll clear the air before someone jumps down my throat - I don't work for EC. I'm just an active weather fan. |

I agree sometimes we can be a little hard on Environment Canada, but that is only because they have an absolutely terrible track record with issuing late or false warnings. And those weather warnings are extremely important and must be timely and accurate for public safety. Any chaser knows that.

I was kinda freaked out by this warning at 1:30am. I heard a few rumbles and I thought it might be a truck or something passing by, but when I went out to investigate it, there were hundreds of strikes of lightning that I didnčt notice before because I have my windows blacked out. I was really excited, but also worried because I seen 6 watches and warnings posted on theweathernetwork.ca. It definitely was an intense storm. I actually started getting my 6 cats into the basement because a Tornado warning was posted for my area and they said that I need to get into a basement immediately. Well, I waited it out and by that time, the storm seemed to have passed. I was a little shaken up because I dont see many official tornado warnings for Hamilton. Apparently, from what I have heard, there might have been one on Hamilton Mountain. Nothing is confirmed yet I think. Anyway, I hope we get more of these. We might get some action tomorrow morning... at least I hope so! GOOOO TORNADOOO!!!!!

St.Kitts got the side end of it, nothing major really, some thunder, alittle rain, some lightning. But those two cells that made that tornado warning, they stayed together all the way into buffalo, I was amazed, especially after going over Lake Erie.

Good morning folks. New here to the site but been lurking for a long time.
As the storm blew right through our neck of the woods early Wednesday morning I was wondering if a video of the radar existed showing the system come through Guelph? Thanks! |

I have a few radar images from when it was approaching and going through Niagara. Here's a radar loop below. I had to attach it because the animation doesn't work when I use a 3rd party image host. This was at about 2:15am :
