Hmmm A few minutes ago, we experienced sudden strong winds, darkness, and rain. According to my brother-in-law who is on the 43rd floor of a building, he heard a very loud hissing sound and experienced sudden darkness of clouds as well. It was so sudden, around 15-25 seconds probably. The umbrella outside area that I am drying almost flies if I do not catch it. Hope you all have a good day or night.

Tornados are scary. I thought they called them typhoons there.

Good it just went passed and did not create havoc. That must have been a frightening experience.

Glad you were safe, and so was the umbrella. Luckily the rainstorm here was pretty calm, I did hear a few thunders which is quite uncommon during this season as thunderstorms are more of a summer thing, and there was some chilly wind too but not too heavy... just very cold.
