Mother Nature gone bat**** crazy.
Ottawa's going to be a new tornado alley soon.
Yeah I found it kinda stupid that there was no warning on our phones and/or television either. I'm sure everyone is safe and hope none were hurt.I didn't get the warning on my phone, and was maybe a 5 min drive away from where they touched down. Heck, I never even noticed it being windy where I was...
I'm pretty sure Tornados only happen in north america.All my devices at home chirped the warning at 6:04pm. This weather has turned and I just read an article that says climatologist believe Canada has the second most tornadoes in the world. Yikes. Time to start thinking of setting up power generators for back up in homes. This does not look like its going to change.

I wonder if buildings in eastern Ontario had this many earthquakes, tornadoes and floods in mind. Kinda feels like the way things are going, we might need to up the standards for future builds.
We aren't actually getting more earthquakes though.
Floods and tornadoes though? Of course not. Overhead costs and margins means corners are cut everywhere and that is on "old world" data.
On the flip side, that is a bigtime earning opportunity.
Does feel like we've had a few notable tremors over the last 5-7 years. More than I remember growing up anyways.
But I do think it might be a godo idea for the government to be somewhat proactive and take a look at building structures and standards across the country. With climate changing, increasing flooding and all fo that, making a few changes now to standards and zoning could save billions down the road.
At least you got alerts.I got 3 alerts on my phone, 6pm, 6:01 and again at 6:09
I hate storms
The fight against climate change is already lost: getting people to make sacrifices for which they won't reap the benefits is dead-on-arrival. "You want me to reduce my emissions and pay more taxes so someone else in the future doesn't get screwed? Screw that, I don't want to get screwed".
Climate change will be our own Thanos: reboot the "humanity franchise" by wiping out most of it.

So evidently if you're In a bar where people are watching the Raptors, and you cheer as loud as they do whenever the blue and gold team gets a point. They get kind of angry.
At the rate humanity is going, we'll have to start inhabiting another planet to keep up with the population growth, waste, and emissions.
Or maybe we'll invent advanced AI someday that will wipe us all out for endangering the health of the planet.
Humanity seems to have a problem with inventing and mass producing new technology before they fully understand it and the ramifications...or maybe I should just stop watching that Chernobyl show on HBO.
typo: billion.Population growth is actually projected to stop at about 11 million around 2100.
Now how much energy sources, efficiency, and usage changes will be important since the developing world is getting richer and will be using more energy. But the population in of itself shouldn't be a problem.

I remember how pissed people were about my Boston jersey in the SCF in 2011. **** the Canucks
