Something wicked...

Not that kind of shelf

When wild weather comes to town, next Geraldo.

We’re thankfully fine, as this particular shelf cloud brought little more than heavy rain and wind. But others weren’t so lucky, as this same system spawned a widespread ice storm well to the east.

Almost a day later, the damage estimates are piling up, and hundreds of thousands of people across a wide region in Ontario and Quebec remain without power.

It was even worse south of the border, where communities across the Midwest were raked by tornadoes that destroyed entire towns - and lives.

The lesson from this not-so-friendly-skies shot, then, is similar to one I’ve held close for much of my life: there’s always someone out there who has it worse than I do.

So if I’m counting blessings instead of complaining, now you’ll know why.
