Did anyone at Struthers Lake get a photo of the shelf cloud over the lake? My husband and I were out with our dog and narrowly escaped the plow wind. I watched the boat dock get tossed & crumpled like a soda can. Countless trees down. Absolutely insane! #skstorm@PQuinlanGlobal
@PQuinlanGlobal There was a family that let us jump into their truck, but we couldn’t go anywhere because every exit was blocked by downed trees. Like something out of a movie! Would have been very scary without them.
@PQuinlanGlobal Unfortunately no - I left my phone in the car, we were literally in the water in floaties. 😳😰 when we got in the water it was completely calm, beautiful, but the shelf cloud was moving FAST. We spent maybe 5 min in the water, and then made a run for our car. Luckily…
@jhshirley My husband and I were on Struthers Lake with our dog. We got off the water about 30s before it hit. I watched the boat dock get tossed in the air and crumpled like a soda can! Absolutely surreal, wish I could have taken a pic of the shelf cloud. 😱
@westjet now it’s scheduled for 2pm…but it’s 1:30 and there is no plane at the gate. Again, I’ll have spent 6 hours in this airport before I even come close to boarding the flight. Why?? Why not let me sleep in or enjoy a breakfast outside the airport? 🫠
@WestJet if I’m not getting out of here today, can you just tell me so that I can go walk the Freedom Trail instead of sitting in the airport all day? Or at least some food vouchers that work. Please? 2/2
@WestJet what is going on…I spent 5+ hours in the airport yesterday waiting for my flight out of Boston that was eventually cancelled. A whole day wasted. Food vouchers declined everywhere. And then my reschedule 11am flight became a 1pm flight. And now 1:30. 1/2
@kasza_leslie @wolfpackjenny Update: I googled, and it’s been available in SK since April?! 😳 “limited quantities”, but I’m going to phone around and see what I can find. Thanks for the tip!
@kasza_leslie @wolfpackjenny Wow. I’m in SK, and will be making a trip to Calgary in Dec. I wonder if I could track one down. Or do I have to live in AB?
@tammyrobert This is a long ass thread, and it’s too much for my brain to unscramble this late at night, but definitely some parallels with the state of things in SK!
Here’s where I think we now stand, and how we should respond. A thread.
1. There is a global trend towards political impunity. In many nations, politicians are testing the limits of constitutional power, and discovering they can get away with almost anything. 🧵
@Amigoratones @commiejudoka@MrGeorgeJaxson@ariccio Had a look, thank you so much! Way more affordable than the Flo; aesthetically it leaves something to be desired, but for the price I can’t argue. It’s also so encouraging to see a company focusing on air quality interventions. Gives me - *some* hope.
