St. Catharines, Ontario

It rained today... Boy! Did it rain! Thunder and lightning and sheets of rain, so dark I lit a candle. The rain was hitting the shed roof so hard that it (the rain) bounced back up two feet. And then, just after four, someone turned off the tap, it stopped raining and the sun came out. And at 4:19 the extreme weather alert went off warning about severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes in the St Catharines area. Really?

That happens to us quite a lot. I've been woken up with warnings after damaging rain had already hit us.

"A trio of tornadoes hit Niagara on Monday, including two that damaged property in Port Colborne and Fort Erie, and a third that started in Fort Erie before crossing the Niagara River into Buffalo."

Tornados are scary for sure, we usually don't have it here but due to the climate change e have already faced some storms.
