We were under a tornado warning this afternoon and it is believed a few set down in neighbouring areas... high winds, torrential rain, flooding, man hole covers blowing off, and hail.

We like to call this Wednesday.

If I had to be somewhere I would be driving or taking public transit and not cycling... more than anything the lack of visibility would be the biggest factor besides getting sucked up into a tornado and finding yourself in Oz.

Motorists also get a little nuts in extreme weather so they pose a greater risk.
