It's in full force here (Markham). Ridiculous amount of rain and lightning/thunder.

Lighting strike near my house, blinded me... not looking outside anymore because of that. I just hear thunder and flashes of light through the shutters every 5 seconds.
Power went out 3 times, thank goodness I'm using a laptop so I don't have to reboot every single time XD

Things were mad crazy in Hamilton not too long ago, it's hitting everybody in southern Ontario. Looked up one of those weather map things, with the storm cells moving though, huge red patch moving across. :]

As am I. The ran appears to have stopped / slowed... but it's still pretty dark.

Why did you have to say that? It looks like it's starting to pick up again >.<
Edit: The sky is now yellow...

Seems like there's a tornado watch/warning for both Toronto and Hamilton. I didn't check other places, but it's likely for surrounding areas obviously.
I don't buy that something like that would happen, but what if it did? Haha, I mean, it's not a laughing matter or anything, but I've lived here my entire life ('bout twenty years) and have never seen a tornado.

Apparently there are "sightings" of tornadoes in Vaughn, but I don't think they are actual tornadoes.
Well, good news about this storm: I don't have to clean the outside of the windows. We have like 50 windows in this house... it's ridiculous. There's probably as much window area as wall area >.>
