Thunder and Lightning

[George Wallace]

It looks like Eastern Ontario is in its second day of sever Thunder Storms.  I just heard on the news that there is a weather front of Thunder Storms to the West of Ottawa and it will probably affect the area for the next 45 minutes. 

I have already seen the online users drop by over 150 in an instant, and as I started this post, I lost all power.  The area is being hit by 'rotating' Power Outages of a few seconds to minutes.  I am going to hit post before the next one....  ;D

Hang in there.

Here's hoping there are no power surges to fry your power supply or motherboard George.   

 

[Burrows]

Heres hoping nothing happens to army.ca.  I'm locked out of another forum that interests me (ironically my own) and I need my fix!

The server is on a UPS so a short power outage (under 20 minutes) won't take the server down... however the networking gear is not on the UPS, so while the server will be up, nobody can get to it.  Could be time for a second UPS.

Severe thunderstorm watch from Algonquin, southeastward to Cornwall and westward to Tweed.

Better today than tomorrow!

We lost all the power here in Pet this morning, there was simply a click and everything died on us, everything all through the shacks apparently. Must have been a bang because it actually woke me and my roomie up...which annoyed us more then losing the power did.
It sounded mighty out there last night, buckets of rain and the crack of thunder. Good stuff to watch but not to be out in thats for sure.

Yup that big one woke me out of my sound beer induced sleep.... not sure how long this ThunderStorm warning will last but it's pretty bad warning

Bright and Sunny here in Peterborough ;D

Sunny and clear in Calgary; possible t-showers this aft. Looking forward to a good long weekend - guns, girls, and parades. Then the grind of Stampede and the Edmonton Tattoo back to back...we need an exhausted smiley with the tongue hanging out.

Wow, in Niagara we had some rain lastnight, a little bit of thunder, nothing too special or out of the norm at all. I slept like a baby and now it's a bright, beautiful day outside!

Goodluck to those of you stuck in it!!!

Bless you George.
It was merely overcast when I was out for a run earlier, so reading this thread I went outside to have a look......just in time for an awesome downpour.....and an equally awesome "wet t-shirt contest" by my neighbour. White t-shirt. No bra. Pouring.  ;D
Bless you.

Yes, isn't it great out here.  8)  And you've gotta love how it can be hot all day and cools down nicely at night...unlike some of those (okay, ALL of those) other provinces.  ;D

 

[aesop081]

Yes its tough having sunshine all day..being able to be on the beach until midnight and not be cold, not having any bugs to deal with, few rounds of golf.....

yeah,

tough

Was quite stormy earlier today here in Brandon, Manitoba. Thunder, Lighting, high water. Couple cars are ditched on the roads from various water related problems.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Another big storm is rolling through now, so if we go off the air for a bit you'll know why...

 

[vonGarvin]

THIS monster photo shows yesterday here at my place.  The storms were coming from the west over NB (I live between Fredericton and St John just off of Highway Route 101).  I first thought that this was turning into a funnel cloud!!!

Great shot von Garvin...it does look like it is about to twist itself up into one, doesn't it?
