Good morning from Port Hope Ontario Canada. It is 6:33 am EDT and 18'C (64'F) going up to 24'C (75'F). The humidity will be blown away by high winds after lunch.
Yesterday afternoon all my cell phones, work and personal, went off warning of a funnel cloud. We kept an eye out but it looks like it passed north of us. A tornado touched down in Brooklin just north of where I work and in Belleville, at the east end of Lake Ontario. We got heavy rain and could hear thunder far away.
During the storm one of the downspouts backed up onto the porch. We have trouble with this downspout every time it rains hard. Mum called the guys who did our roof. (They also do eaves) But they were going to charge $175 just to come and look at it. One of the other people that she had look at it, quoted a ridiculous price saying that it was impossible to get downpipes the same size as what we have. I found a 10' replacement after 10 minutes of internet searching. And there was also a plastic replacement with adapters, if we wanted to go that way.
DD managed to break a welded handle off one of mum's heavy aluminum fry pans. Unfortunately the welder north of us is no longer in business, so we'll have to find someone else to fix this.
The owner of the LYS sent out a message that she was closing the store and Knitting in the Parking Lot was called off. Good call. Although we didn't have the brunt of the storm pass over, we still had enough rain to make the parking lot very wet.
My Feel Good shawl is getting bigger fast. The ladies that I taught brioche will be able to handle this shawl so far. There are 2 increases that I can teach in 15 minutes. The rest is easy. My other brioche project is starting to look like some weird alien helmet!
