A Little After the 21 May 2022 Storm

I got back to the old neighbourhood just as the storm system was starting to sweep through and it was after midnight local time before power was first restored here. My first attempt to post this was interrupted by another, briefer outage.

I'm informed that many other people across Ontario and Québec have had rougher times these past twelve hours or so. A handful have been found by their deaths tonight as well.

I've heard about this hurricane. They say the wind speed reached 100 km/h. Let's hope that the consequences of the disaster will be eliminated soon, and there will be no new victims.
Hold on there!

We actually broke the 120 km/h line...

Wow! Heck of a storm! We've been dry for a long time, and our fire danger is at max with one fire not too far away. I haven't seen or heard 5 minute evacuation orders yet, but if we don't get rain soon, it's probably not far away.
