It's garbage day around here today and there is stuff flying everywhere cause people put out their recycle boxes last night and did not weigh them down.

That is my concern. We put our garbage and recycles out tonight. I'm not worrying about my boxes flying away they are heavy enough. I'm just worried about the contents blowing all over.

My power was out for about three hours last night, damm its hard reading with a brim light...
The thought of this becoming a storm like the night the Fitz sunk is scary. I was on my way to Sarnia that night, they closed the Mackinaw bridge for a few hours, when they finally let us across we watched a transport flip over onto a car opposite us in the north bound lane. Pretty scary at the time.

looks like it's going to be another beautiful day

the tree across the street from my nouse snapped about 30 min ago and hit my kids bus and a few other cars on the way down. It got caught up on the power lines so it didnt fall across Second Line. PUC is out there right now taking it down. Also the traffic lights at the corner of second line and goulais are bent in the wrong direction.

Its garbage day tomorrow and like all good retired City Board of Works employees, my hubby puts his garbage out in the morning.

I remember the Fitz storm a little ( i was young ) and it ripped the roof off our house during the night.

[IMHO]

Thats nice...but...the city says we can put garbage curbside the night before.

Yeah, we had a brand new house out in Goulais, and my parents were up on the roof, nailing down plastic, because our shingles were flying everywhere. It's the only storm I remember being afraid of.

A tree snapped at the roots and punctured my shed roof. I somehow forgot about garbage day so the deck box, with all my recycling, blew halfway across the deck and was flipped over. :-( I'm grumpy.

[Bluesky]

CAN anyone from Goulais tell me if it was bad out there? I want to know if my cottage is still standing

[SIMBA]

Ok the sun is out now?

Don't know whereabouts in Goulias your cottage is (but I'm guessing near the water! lol). East side of Goulais was windy, some power outages, but not too bad. I heard there was a tree down on the powerlines on 552 east this am, but missed seeing it as I was already gone to work. Don't know if that helps you!

we have a few shingles flying, but the plastic lawn furniture is still sitting...my dog looks like Einstein after her morning outing,lol

so much for the "Monster Storm"

[SIMBA]

I'm beginning to see that!! We've seen much worse!

[Craig Huckerby]

have you seen how big this storm is on satellite??? anything that covers several square thousand of miles would be considered "monster storm" by the way, the peek winds will probably arrive around noon to 4pm today...

[Peety]

I lost my phone.. it sure is windy!

[MagicFingers]

We have a fence gate that usually doesn't stay closed so hubby tied a bungee cord around it to keep it shut. The wind was soooo strong it snapped the bungee and broke it. Take a lot of force to do that.

One of my big gates that lead into a laneway broke, a piece of metal trim ripped off my house, and a ceiling tile INSIDE my house at the front door moved. I also had to go get my recycling boxes way down the street, and pick up a bunch of broken glass and cans.
