Actually, the tornado hit at 1:30pm. Why do I know this? Because with my luck, I drove through the damn thing!!!!!

I was with my wife and kids coming back from some shopping. We noticed a crapload of lightning near our house. As I was on Ste-Angélique (the blvd that crosses my street), I noticed what looked like a wall of rain ahead. When we hit it, it was a torrential downpour. We passed 2 cyclists that were getting drenched. Funny but not funny...

And then I saw it. I noticed the rain swirling in a circle right in the middle of the road. Not asbad as what you see in the movies, but I could tell it's shape. There were branches floating around, including one that was quite big, just turning in a circle. My wife looked at me, panicking. So... I floored it to get through it as fast as I could.

I felt the van get bounced around and felt the left side tires lift a bit and then the van slammed down. I got quite nervous but, of course, the kids were laughing their asses off!

And just to add a hilarious tidbit to it all... this happened at the corner of Ste-Angélique and Aberdeen, which is the corner of... you guessed it... a trailer park!!!!

So the myth is true!!!! Tornadoes love trailer parks! The only one we ever got here hit a small one that only has about 20 mobile homes!

In the end, quite a few broken trees and minor home damage in that area.

Makes for a great weekend!

So that's why all the stuff flew out of my pool!!!

I didn't notice it at my brother's in Vaudreuil-Dorion, but could tell there's been high winds.

Glad you survived the tornado. Can we call you Tornado Sparky now?

Wife: "Look! A tornado!"
Sparky: "Finally! I've been waiting my whole life for this, a chance to drive through a tornado! Hold on to something!"
