We had some really crazy weather here yesterday; wind gusts over 100km/h (that's over 65mph for those of you unfortunate enough to still be using the imperial system ), hail, etc.

I figured you'd like some pictures, so here... (Click to enlarge)









I took all these just down the street from me. There were also uprooted trees everywhere, power outages, when driving your car would literally get pushed around by the wind...

On top of that, traffic lights (not sets of traffic lights; just the individual lights -- like the green light or the red light) were ripped right off of the backplate; there are about 20 intersections that are either missing lights, or have lights just dangling.

All in all, it was a pretty intense storm.

EDIT: Here's a video of it all from the news: http://southwesternontario.ctv.ca/news.php?id=7317

That sounds crazy. Hopefully just property was damaged.

I could've sworn your title said crazy mother.

But man... remind me to never visit your place.

Hahaha, yes, a crazy mother ripped down houses and traffic lights and trees with her bare hands!

Not that would make a good news story.

@webmaren - Yeah, as far as I know there were no injuries.

I had to look at the first picture a few times before I could work out what I was looking at

Glad to hear no one got seriously hurt.
