Stay safe IP. In other disaster related news, I get to drive bossman over the Cascades in a snowstorm this morning. Good times.

If you get a chance you should JO into it.

Do you know anyone who has a basement you could hang out at until it's passed?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_waterspout

A winter waterspout, also known as a snow devil, an icespout, an ice devil, or a snowspout, is an extremely rare meteorological phenomenon in which a vortex resembling that of a waterspout forms under the base of a snow squall.[1][2] The term "winter waterspout" is used to differentiate between a common warm season waterspout and the rare winter season waterspout which will often form in temperatures of −18 °C (−0.4 F) or colder. Very little is known about this rare phenomenon and only six known pictures of this event exist to date, four of which were taken in Ontario, Canada.

Just because it's related, this seems like one of the coolest things in the world and I could only hope that I get to see one someday. Something about tornadoes and waterspouts seems really fascinating to me, particularly just the effect of it picking up everything in it's path. I spent an entire afternoon looking up Fire Whirls, Dust Devils etc, and have to say that they're some of the most fascinating things to witness. Tornadoes are a bit scarier than the others though

He... uhh... you know, didn't write that. Like... that's not what his sentence says at all. What a strange thing to get defensive about.

We don't really have any natural disasters around Toronto. Maybe we'll get an ice storm or some blizzards. But other than that nothing.
