Lots of watches now. PS: no need to post all watches. We'll just end up flooding the thread with them. Maybe one watch or warning to start a thread, but tornado watches can be posted for different areas. Thanks!

That was an exciting swath of weather, spotted a very clearly rotating wall cloud at 4:44 associated with the cell that prompted the prior warning for the Midland area, had to relocate for safety, sadly i was to busy calling it in and trying to get to a better location to get a picture, then the second cell coming through had straight line winds, probably only 70-80km gust but it did topple this tree branch, also had a close lightning strike as that wave went through, struck some HVAC stuff on top of our local mall while i was at a nearby intersection maybe 50m away.

Today was a total dud in Kitchener. The irony is that the wind prior to any storms was strong enough to bring down many small branches around the area. It must have gusted to nearly 80km/h at a few points.

Still though, there wasn't even thunder, just some rain and kind of nice structure.

Hearing this all over the radio, apparently lots of damage in ANGUS

ESSA TOWNSHIP DECLARED STATE OF EMERGENCY FOLLOWING STORMS

Just got back from Angus...(my sister lives on Stonemount Crecent)..they are fine, but the street is a complete mess. We finally got in contact with her.

These houses were approximately 15 houses away...her house also has damage, but police wouldn't let me check behind her house. People are walking around with stunned looks...emergency equipment everywhere...even driving to their house along Side Road 25, many trees and powerlines down...

This was the same storm that hit us moments later in south Barrie.

This one hit too close to home.
