Stormy weather
Unlike New York, no tornado warnings today, but a fast and threatening sky for much of the day. Zen the wonderpup and I got caught in a fierce downpour complete with big hailstones and had to shelter in someone's garage for 20 minutes. Later I took these before a second storm rolled in. They don't really do today's sky justice.

Two shots of a playground slide just before the sky darkened:





First sign of the storm:



Looking downtown from the park at the bottom of our street. The CN Tower is almost 5 miles east of us:



Storm approaching. There was some sporadic lightning but not enough to give me a chance to capture it:







I got home just before the rain arrived. I haven't seen a summer with more thunderstorms since I live in Savannah. This has been an amazing year.

Down this way. These are great, esp. the playground stuff.
