The wind warning issued for the Kawartha Lakes and other places says that 110 km/hr gusts are possible this evening and overnight as the front goes through. 110 km/hr is pretty significant and potentially damaging.

Wind warning for Peterborough and the Kawartha Lakes

We just had one hell of a burst go through here at the top of the hill. Tower wires were so loud,we could hear them with the windows closed. Lights dimmed, then now,no wind. Dead quiet .

[lew]

Funny as I just said to my wife a few minutes ago that it seemed like the bad weather missed us. We've got some wind but nothing extreme and some light rain but it looks like we're gonna get hammered later today.

Wind. Wow.   Had a bunch of trees come down behind my house. And power out for a bit 

[Fisherman]

Ya, 3 minutes of a deluge of rain, then 30 seconds of ridiculous wind probably 90+.  I pity the poor living at the east end of Lake Erie, over 100 km/h winds.

I may have picked up my generator just in time, it's all fueled up and ready to go if needed.

Thanks Brian, the winds are howling now with heavy rain and my power went out 10 minutes ago but the GENERAC fired right up and my house is running normal again.

That generator was the best $6000 I ever spent.  👍

I'd hate to be in any of the purple areas. https://www.ventusky.com/?p=44.65;-80.21;8&l=gust

Power out again.

The sky cleared for a few minutes just before sunset and produced this nice double rainbow.

Just seen pics from Port Stanley. The waves pushed rocks up on the shore. 12-16" ones.

Beauty pic Lew.

I may have picked up my generator just in time, it's all fueled up and ready to go if needed. But so far we haven't even had a flicker. Figures lol. If you know of anyone in the Kawarthas that is going to be out of power for an extended period let me know and I'll bring this generator over for them. 

[ketchenany]

We had lots of wind, no power out; some damage to my patio coverings , have to replace them. 

[Fisherman]

Just got power back, been out for about 3 hours,  winds along the Mulmur Hills still showing around 100+km/h

[Terry]

Yea.  I just got my power back on

 

 

for now 

[Beans]

We were without power since 04:30pm yesterday until 05:00am this morning...except for 10 minutes at 09:00pm...just long enough to reset the clocks...LOL

When I got up yesterday my power was out and it was howling, you hear people say a tornado sounds like a train? It sounded like that pretty much all day here.

How about gusts measured at Port Colbourne of 150 KPH just before the bouy sunk.  I could write a book if I could spell. When the power is off and all one can hear is the wind blowing and the clinking of glassware in the cupboards and the sight of the candle flame dancing the Bossa Nova from the shack shaking when a wave hits the break wall can be unerving. 

I need spell check. Help please. PM me.

Yup, when mother nature decides to spank us, she can get real mean.

Everytime I hear that song the hair on the back of my neck stands up. I was a young shipping/recieving clerk in the plant. I did the books for the docks that brought in Metalurgical Coal and Iron Ore pellets for Ironmaking. That Ore boat was at the plant with Iron Ore many, many times and our Dock Foremen knew many of the souls lost. I was lucky enough to get invited, or I should say my wife was invited  to a concert at McMaster University in Hamilton that Gordon Lightfoot put on with all proceeds going to his charity. He suffered massive heart failure and was treated at E.R. at Mac who he credits for saving his life. Not many dry eyes in the house when he played that song.
