I am very glad that Mother Nature sent the funnels elsewhere, and glad that your building has some hidey places.<br /><br />Bear, I do think that we've seen many more tornado reports in the past year than I ever remember in past years. Some say this is because recent housing developments in previously barren land are courting the reporting of tornadoes that have always passed through these areas.<br /><br />What's that bit about something happening in a forest and no one being there as witness?<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-27896261913242584152012-06-16T19:15:42.786-06:002012-06-16T19:15:42.786-06:00Other than being in a cave there are probably few ...Other than being in a cave there are probably few safer places than being in a highrise during a tornado - tucked away from the glass, of course.<br /><br />My usual weather reports are of the analog variety.

OK, just so you know, our land and we...Hi, folks. <br /><br />OK, just so you know, our land and weather are similar to that of Kansas, the Dakotas, and the other Plains States. Think of the Dakotas the southern extension of Canada, and you'll have things clear. In fact, much of the Dakotas and Minnesota (as far south as Minneapolis) used to be Canadian (well, British) a long time ago. <br /><br />Anyhow, there were no tornados near us. This time. But this general area has experienced about 60 tornadoes over the past 40 years. Places south of us get even more. <br /><br />The CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) says several funnel clouds were spotted west of us today. The hospitals in River City declared a code T, which means staff and visitors were asked to stay inside and patients were moved into the centre of their rooms. Emergency rooms were also cleared to make room for potential casualties. <br /><br />Now you know a whole lot about tornadoes up here — probably more than you wanted to know.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-88682461843703546492012-06-15T20:28:29.720-06:002012-06-15T20:28:29.720-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-42855737106824872732012-06-15T19:43:21.699-06:002012-06-15T19:43:21.699-06:00Just to show you...I didn't know Canada had to...Just to show you...I didn't know Canada had tornadoes, or anything bad...well, there's the cold and snow, but I'm just sayin'.lotta joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742978845913126675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-79206814104914897532012-06-15T19:39:49.066-06:002012-06-15T19:39:49.066-06:00Okay - I feel dumb here - I didn't think you a...Okay - I feel dumb here - I didn't think you all had tornadoes - not sure why I thought that.
