misfish Posted May 4, 2018 Report Posted May 4, 2018 The wind and the super gusts of up to 100 km so far is crazy. The CTV tower wires sound like a 747 is just outside here. Calling for even stronger gusts up to 115 km this evening.

grimsbylander Posted May 4, 2018 Report Posted May 4, 2018 I had planned to fertilize the lawn after work. I'd probably end up doing all my neighbours lawns instead!
misfish Posted May 4, 2018 Author Report Posted May 4, 2018 I,ll bet theres 6 footers out on the lake here. Perfect for jigging lakers on the toon.
outllaw Posted May 4, 2018 Report Posted May 4, 2018 that 25lbs I put on last winters saving me. I almost blew over.
John Bacon Posted May 4, 2018 Report Posted May 4, 2018 It sounds like whatever you guys were getting just hit Scarborough now. No evening fishing on Lake Ontario tonight.
irishfield Posted May 4, 2018 Report Posted May 4, 2018 I currently have 4 x 10,000 lb ratchet straps, 2 chains with bear traps on them diagonal across my hangars front door and 2 of my 3/8" cross cables up to keep it from blowing over sideways. Direct West wind on 100 feet of 16' wall + the roof and I think the only thing keeping it upright is the fact my aircraft insurance is valid for 3 more days! Gusts are 90 to 100kph currently..
Terry Posted May 4, 2018 Report Posted May 4, 2018 My power just came back on don't know how long it will last
lew Posted May 4, 2018 Report Posted May 4, 2018 Our power has been flickering off & on for an hour but now it's out completely.
dave524 Posted May 4, 2018 Report Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) Lost power for 4 hours , 2 sections of wooden fence blew off, just laying down and just need to nail it back , wife offered to help but told her too dangerous with this wind, we'll wait till the wind drops, I'll take the girls out on a leash until then.

Looking out now, that wind has shifted, as the flags do tell. Direct out of the north. Here comes that cold front, and I do not like that mix.

It's all pretty quiet here just below the escarpment. Must be something going right over my head.
DRIFTER_016 Posted May 4, 2018 Report Posted May 4, 2018 From a FB post on Ontario Tornado Watches page. A source is reporting to our own Sabrina vZ. that there is “HALF A HOUSE IN THE STREET” near King and Gage in Hamilton due to the winds. Has anyone else seen this or can share photos with us? Updates to come. - Brennen P.

Good thing Mike doesn't work on Friday's. He would have been waaaaay busy taking measurements every 15 minutes with this blow!!

mikeh Posted May 5, 2018 Report Posted May 5, 2018 a rental property on our street had new shingles put on in the last 4 years and the shingles were flying off the roof today, I noticed the plastic strips were still on the shingles, I always thought they were supposed to be removed before being nailed down.
HTHM Posted May 5, 2018 Report Posted May 5, 2018 Two fatalities in Southern Ont one in Hamilton, electrocution, DON'T TOUCH DOWNED POWER LINES FOLKS! and tragically an arborist in Milton.
misfish Posted May 5, 2018 Author Report Posted May 5, 2018 And after all that, woke up to the sound of silence. I would say she got lucky Albert. Lots of down trees and poles here.
