@ezralevant This is such an awful comparison. Comparing mainly gang-related violence to a white nationalist terrorism crisis in the United States. 11 shootings, still bad but no deaths (no heavy assault weapons) compared to 2 shootings in the US with assault weaponry with 30+ deaths.

Definitely a rare event. From Windsor-Sarnia and now approaching Ottawa. The widespread nature of 90+ km/h (and a couple reported 120+ km/h) gusts is not too common in S ON. Would classify as a derecho.

One storm at a time but too hard not to talk about the Friday-Saturday storm. Potential for significant winter storm/blizzard with intense backside lake effect across S ON. Exact track will determine who sees the worst impacts— very strong winds a near certainty with this one.

The wind event this weekend is not comparable to events we’ve seen recently. Winds will gust 70-110km/h for several hours across much of S ON. Numerous if not widespread power outages are possible with restoration hampered by extended strong winds, snow, and flash freeze effects.
