My long time love and I got married on Sept 1st. It was the most amazing, beautiful and magical day, surrounded by our family and closest friends. #nlwedding#weddingday#nlwx 🥰♥️
⚡️HOW MANY LIGHTNING STRIKES WEDNESDAY NIGHT?⚡️
Wednesday night into Thursday morning (July 30 - 31, 2025) satellites detected 4,338 lightning strikes over and near the Avalon Peninsula! That is a combination of cloud-to-ground and cloud-to-cloud strikes. #nlwx
To put that into perspective, I am reasonably certain this region averages well under 1000 strikes (combined) per year. There is a VERY GOOD chance we had more lightning Wednesday night than we've seen in the last several years... combined!
In my nearly 13 years of living on the Avalon, I've NEVER seen a lightning event like this. Not in scope (amount) and duration.
It was wild!
Thank you, Vaisala / XWeather, for sharing this data with me!
@GenXintheGame@RpsAgainstTrump Canada is just fine, thanks. In fact, we don’t need to be made “great again” by joining the US. We are already great. We just don’t need to constantly mention it, like Trump does. Talk about some fragile masculinity. Someone forgot to humble that boy when he was growing up.
The United States has confirmed that it intends to impose 25% tariffs on most Canadian goods, with 10% tariffs on energy, starting February 4.
I’ve met with the Premiers and our Cabinet today, and I’ll be speaking with President Sheinbaum of Mexico shortly.
We did not want this, but Canada is prepared. I’ll be addressing Canadians later this evening.
As a result of strong winds, causing flying debris, we have some significant amounts of broken glass on Harbour Drive in St. John’s. We ask #nltraffic to avoid Harbour Drive for the next hour so crews can clean the area.
Jimmy Carter’s legacy is one of compassion, kindness, empathy, and hard work. He served others both at home and around the world his entire life — and he loved doing it. He was always thoughtful and generous with his advice to me.
My deepest condolences to the Carter family, his many loved ones, and the American people who are mourning a former President and a lifelong humanitarian. May his selfless service continue to inspire us all for years to come.
It's almost time! We are thrilled to welcome guests to Stars On Ice tomorrow. 🌟❄️

@EddieSheerr So thankful for good weather today. I’m flying home from Toronto with Porter. A little delay here at YYZ, but not weather related, so will hopefully get home on time tonight.
