I have 6 friends with trees on their houses. 2 with trees on their cars and a lot of people didn't make it in today at work .A teenager is confirmed dead after a large tree broke in half and fell on a mobile home and a 64 year old man was killed when a 90 foot tree fell onto his home.50,000 still without power.

Those are massive trees. So glad you are O.K.

 

Our province has had heavy rain fall for the last few days and a State of Emergency has been called in many communities because of severe flooding. There are many towns being evacuated and some of the highways have been washed over or completely out.

 

Today, Canada Day, the sun is shining brightly, and the festivities are on in our little town. We were fortunate not to have any of the really heavy rains.

 

Keep safe in the clean up, and be sure to enjoy the 4th of July!

I'm so glad you are okay!!!

 

We are supposed to get storms tonight and tomorrow morning. Hope it isn't the same system. We often get weather from N. Indiana. I THINK we are on about the same parallel line running east and west. Or what ever it's called.

I saw it was supposed to be bad, so I made sure to plug in our weather radio, and went to bed. Apparently the plug outlet isn't good, because it dumped the heavy plug right back out again after I walked out. And the back-up battery must be dead. It never went off, and there were tornado warnings sent out. I thought maybe DH had gotten up and unplugged it, but he said he didn't. :shakinghead:

 

We slept right through it.

 

Thank God, we only had a few branches that fell near the house. I didn't go back into the woods. One kind of small tree had half of its top that split off & fell, but it is away from the house.

 

I think the thing I was most surprised about was the vast amount of healthy corn fields that had wide swaths just flattened down. I don't know if they were pulled from the ground, or if the just *might* recover and continue to grow. Some of the stalks are 4-5 feet tall already, now down resting on other stalks down.

 

If it doesn't recover, it is still ANOTHER crop problem for our farmers. Already the flooding out west has damaged and destroyed crops. Prices going up still more???? :o

PLYMOUTH, Ind. (AP) — The National Weather Service says it has confirmed that six tornadoes hit northern Indiana early Tuesday.

It said Wednesday that the strongest of the storm that hit the region were two EF-1 tornadoes packing estimated peak winds of 100 mph and damaging farms. One traveled about seven miles through Kosciusko and Wabash counties and the other covered less than half a mile in Whitley County.

Two of the other tornadoes, an EF-1 and EF-0 on the Fujita scale struck near the city of Plymouth about 20 miles south of South Bend. Another EF-0 tornado struck near the Kosciusko County town of Milford.

The weather service earlier confirmed an EF-1 tornado hit the town of LaGrange.

 

 

 

Kosciusko and LaGrange counties are where the 2 fatalities occurred and the north/northwest side of my town is a disaster of downed trees. Some of my co workers are still without power and they are saying it might be Saturday before it's restored to everyone.

Most people have power back but there is still at least one stop light still out. Some of my friend on Facebook are very helpful with other needing showers and places to stay but there are some that are just snarky.
