Beautiful day here today. They had predicted showers but it's been full sun and around 24-25C Think that's around mid-70's F?
Just a perfect summer day (even though it's still spring I guess).
 
I went for a drive with the roof open and the windows down. Mostly 55 MPH on back roads, many stretches treed-over and shady. I don't burn fuel for the halibut often, but it was a nice ride, I averaged 44 MPG, and I could crank my tunes up without annoying anyone.

Severe thunderstorms rolling across southern Ontario this evening. The federal emergency warning system has gone off on TV a few times warning of possible toronados north of Toronto all the way over to Eastern Ontario near Ottawa.

Storming all night and for the last 2 hours I keep thinking "it's over in a bit" based on doppler radar imagery. But nope. New waves keep birthing out of nothing as earlier ones move on.

Just had a big bright orange flash and CRACK-KABOOM within half a second out my window. Too fast to even pull my hands back off the keyboard. No new sirens, so maybe nothing's caught fire from that one?

Wow. That sounds iffy at best. I hope it settles down soon. I knew that Florida, especially southern Florida is getting hammered. There is so much moisture in the air it's crazy. Here it will be 90F again. We will have about 10 days of this, ALREADY. I turned on my air conditioner in my room 2 days ago, at least two weeks earlier than last year.
