Yesterday (sunday) afternoon we went to Tim's for lunch, and the sun was shining, and the winds calm. When we left Tims after a brief lunch, all hell had broken loose. Winds crazy (radio said up to 100km/hr, and I'd believe it..). My buddy saw a Tom Hortons sign flying away, and we had a good laugh as we trudged to my car. When we got back to the armouries, we had to run against the wind and the horizontally-flying hail, which stung like mad.. The power had gone off after we saw a tree strike the powerlines, and building materials from the construction site (namely foam and plastic sheets) were flying all around, even getting caught up on the powerlines in the case of the plastic sheets..
When we met up with the others, one of them mentioned how he was almost smoked by a Tim Horton's sign, a bit away from where we were..  ;D

I still think that half hour of incredibly high winds and hail, with blue skies before AND after, took the cake for wierd weather the other day...

My mother is in Nova Scotia right now. She told me how it was +7 the other day, in comparison to the -26 here.

I hate her.

Sounds like Edmontonian gypsies have a tough act to follow.

An unidentified man believed to belong to a Gypsy community was also killed when a tile torn off a roof cut off his head in the western suburb of Vernouillet, other officers said.
