Well today there was an Earthquake that hit the east side of central Ontario. The tremor was felt as far west as London and as far south as Chicago. Here at home when it hit it was about a 3 or so. That's hardly anything to talk about but still, the fact that there was a big enough disturbance 16km in the ground to radiate up is probably not a good thing.
Post earthquake, the thunderstorms picked up. Weather got so bad in some places of central Ontario that a tornado resulted. Now if you were to stretch tornado alley out and extend the line through Canada, it happens to pass right through Orillia. Fortunately, there hasn't been a tornado that's hit Orillia in at least 10 years. Today however, Midland/Penetang was not so lucky and there's quite a bit of damage over there. There is still a tornado watch issued for around the area as well as Kingsville and Leamington.
I know active weather is scary, but I think people over react too much. Though I suppose it's better to be over prepared than under prepared. I can say that with the comfort of never experiencing a traumatic active weather experience and I hope to never experience something that completely destroys my surroundings.
One thing I do know though, these things just keep happening and happening. Looks like the protective bubble of North America may be shattering. Limited freshwater, tornadoes, earthquakes, oil spills, polar caps gone, bears and other wild animals coming into cities. I doubt it's the apocalypse but it's pretty safe to say that Gaia is pissed off.
