That's what I said! We don't get those here, normally. But my parents are STILL without power now due to all the flying trees and high winds knocking down power lines and transformers.

The wind measurment instruments up at the airport broke at 129k/h, but the Environment Canada folks who came out to the city to look around after seem to think the winds got up to 189k/h and there were sightings of funnel clouds, although we never got a full-blown tornado. A tornado DID touch down a few hours south of us, though. Technically, what we got are called "microbursts", which seems to mean "microbursts of TORNADOS".

Anyway. All very exciting.
