I still can't believe this happened. Jaw dropping stuff yesterday, May 15th, just east of Hallville, Ontario at around 8:45pm. Just absolutely insane. Easily the best shelf I've ever seen in Eastern Ontario. And this happened in May! #onstorm #ShareYourWeather

It is admittedly kind of funny that I drove to Alberta for 2 weeks in 2021, 2022, and 2023 in search of seeing my first tornado, and then I ended up seeing my first tornado 20 minutes up the road from my own house in Ontario lol

This is the most textbook supercell on radar that I've ever seen go right through Ottawa, with the couplet going right through the city. The only problem is that ECCC left this unwarned until after it left the city, which is quite frankly pathetic.
