Twister
Yes, a tornado tore through Manitoba's cottage country Saturday, leaving one person dead and several communities devastated (report by ctv.ca here). I heard it called the worst tornado to hit Manitoba in a century.
According to Environment Canada's website, Winnipeg itself has been hit a dozen times by tornadoes, with one death as a result. Researchers are hard at work determining what would happen if a major twister ripped through the downtown core. Apparently, it would be bad.

Glad you're OK!!!
yep. but my fellow writer david was actually at gull lake where the twister touched down. he said it was pretty crazy. and the cottage he was in was only 250 metres away from the woman who was killed.
Whoah. That's really really bad. In my first comment I was going to make a Wizard of Oz joke but then I thought, no, people have died, this isn't funny.
When are you coming back to the land of bland weather? Do you know yet?
i'm at the mercy of the wind and the tide.
