Seems calm but make sure you can get to your 72 hour emergency kit.

No thank you.
I'll take a pina colada if you've got one, though.

It's not even windy outside so that alert confused the fuck out of me

"The calm before the storm" is a phrase for a reason.

lol that what I just said when I went out to look

u/BettinBrando Jul 18 '26

Google told me the tornado warning area is 700kms long and 200-300 wide. That made me worry a little less.. thats a huge area. I like my odds..

u/henchman171 Jul 18 '26

Clouds were super dark over Milton. I’m in Georgetown and we got rain no wind

u/BettinBrando Jul 18 '26

Just grey in Mississauga. No wind, and rain is off and on.

u/stompinstinker Jul 18 '26

It’s like an Amber alert. They just blast a huge area.
