Yesterday, Brampton and the surrounding area were hit with a storm that produced scenes like the above. Over 60,000 residences in Ontario are without power because of it and many streets look like duck ponds.
Because we have only one car in our family, I took the bus home at 3:30 P.M. yesterday from the Post Office in Mississauga. I got home at 9:30 P.M. with my socks and shoes soaked.
Fortunately, these storms don't happen very often in the winter. Barrie, north of us and Buffalo south of us get much more snow.
In Newfoundland, it's common to have storms that drop 100 cm on a regular basis during the winter.
I'm glad we live in the Greater Toronto Area where we get changing weather every few days, but no hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes or tsunamis.
