lew Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 My daughter is up at my trailer near Peterboro this week and just called to tell me about a huge storm moving thru the area. She says there's heavy rain, golfball sized hail and powerful winds, infact the wind is so strong it just toppled a huge tree in the trailer park and crushed a cottage. Sure hope none of our members are on the water right now !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hmm still quiet and sunny down at my place, must be just north of us. Did it get rid of one of the older cottages needing to go anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Did it get rid of one of the older cottages needing to go anyways? Yup, it took out the middle cottage right across from me Mike, plus another l arge pinetree came down and hit a trailer, but she can't tell how much damage was done to it as the tree is still against it. Keep an eye on the sky though Mike, incase it turns your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'm heading outside to give everything the once over now in case it comes this way. Hopefully the trailer is alright, and Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tybo Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 The weather channel and all other sites are showing severe thunder storm warnings for alot of Ontario. Damaging winds and hail. Batten down the hatches once again. Hope Sheri's alright up there Lew. Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I had to hunker down on an "island" at Head Lake a couple of weeks back when the wind turned from bad to severe. Things can change in a hurry out there. Got pelted as I crouched on a piece of rock. Definitely learned a lesson that day. Hope everyone is ok at your trailers/cottages.

Nanook Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Picked up my van after having it serviced in P'boro and drove right into the storm on the way home.Just North of Gannons Narrows the van hydroplaned on me[only doing 60/65 k's] the road was completly coverd with water like a river coming down the hill. Noticed many small Pine and Cedar trees leaning on the Hydro wires. When I got home, I tried to phone Hydro 1, they dont have human beings there, only voice mail. S o o o ! called the Police, they said; "Thanks for the call,but we're not surprised" One Hell of a storm !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
