  Pretty cool bit of video editing there. I wouldn't want to be watching that storm approaching me though

Kev, you don't want to be the cynic. The cynic is the one in the film that always gets eaten first! And don't think Cthulhu won't come all the way over from Canada to prove a point. He's multidimensional!

That will be some nice fried calamari. Now I just have to remember where I parked my nuclear submarine...

Hopefully I'll be carrying my Surge that day. I'll show him/her/it  a proper stomach ache

Bad weather is nothing in Canada though- we barely notice it half the time.

Man who mowed lawn with tornado behind him says he 'was keeping an eye on it'



A photo of a man in Alberta mowing a lawn with a tornado swirling behind him has been causing a bit of a storm on social media.

Cecilia Wessels snapped the picture of her husband, Theunis, on Friday evening as the twister passed near their home in Three Hills.

She says cutting the grass was on her husband's to-do list, and as he started the task, she went for a nap.

Wessels says she was woken by her nine-year-old daughter who was upset that there was something like a tornado in the sky, but her father wouldn't come inside.

Theunis Wessels says the tornado was actually much further away than it appears in the photo, and that it was moving away from them.

There have been no reports of injuries from the tornado, although some other photos show downed trees and a barn with its roof ripped off.

"I literally took the picture to show my mum and dad in South Africa, 'Look there's a tornado,' and now everyone is like, 'Why is your husband mowing the lawn?"' Cecilia Wessels said Saturday.

"Our whole street, everyone was on their back patios taking pictures," she added.

Theunis Wessels said he was keeping watch of his surroundings and saw the twister form as the swirling connected from the sky and the ground to form the funnel.

Theunis said he watched a TV program about storm chasers, so he's familiar with them.

The tornado moved away to the east, he said.

"It looks much closer if you look in the photo, but it was really far away. Well, not really far, far away, but it was far away from us," he said.

"I was keeping an eye on it."

Heck, I've walked my dogs in a class 3 hurricane and last week Megan and I were followed by a tornado that formed right behind where we'd just been.

WOW that guy.  I'd been inside a shelter.  We get such typically good weather year round that a 5 degree rise in temperature is our headline. 

[Grant Lamontagne]

Wow, that's impressive.  We have had 20 degrees difference in one day alone... and those are Celsius degrees....

Add 10 degree and all the local station harp endlessly on it.  If we get precipitation the city goes nuts.  Its ridiculous but with temps in the 70s F nearly year round we are spoiled.  Humidity, no flipping humidity please.

The one who gets eaten first is the night watchman who hears a noise and goes to investigate. SLUURRPP!

Nice lead in, the music selection was subtle but effective with all kinds of panic inducing tones. They were getting me to react, and that is hard to do. The cut off at the end was too abrupt though, like that was all the rendering his computer could manage before melting down, and he didn't want to splice. Because of the ending, despite everything, three tentacles out five.

All hail Cthulhu! It's been EXACTLY 81 years since the death of the Great Author H.P. Lovecraft

What’s special about 81? 
Besides the fact that it’s divisible by 3.

It's special that is on this DATE! I didn't know he died on March 15th until I started posting these... 

[AlephZero]

And yes its 27 times 3 

or 3 times 3 times 3

Yeah, that would be good. Vancouver is much too close to us here in Seattle.
