@ontarioCottagefinder hey man in from rockwood and I remember this lol!

[starguard]

Nice Video. What type of Camera did you use?

[ontarioweather]

@starguard I am using a Sony HDR - XR100 handycam. I have loved this model since I have gotten it for most storm video environments except really low light.

[minorshrimp]

Im from guelph too, and i hope we get one like this this year, but it needs super intense lightning like this too lol. that lightning bolt at 2:48 was nuts!

[H0useMouse]

God I love storms. I've never been in the middle of one like this. One day I wish to live in an area with tremendous thunder storms, and get that rush.

[OntarioCottageFinder]

I remember this storm... it was first one of the year for 2009, and it was a doozy! I was coming down Guelph Line between Guelph and Rockwood when it came down quick and nasty! Great video!!!

GREAT footage! We had the effects of it here in Kitchener also. The rooftop of the community center across the street flew off and hit our car in the parking lot. I was standing at the balcony door with my daughter when the storm first happened and I got freaked out that I opened all the windows and ran to the bathroom, lol

[caseyboy1123]

wow

great video

[elliebelize]

Great footage. I was in one here in Memphis a couple days back and it is so scarey and leaves extreme damage.

[ericsummey95]

I have been in MANY violent storms. The winds can be far more intense than some tornadoes.

[metroidman82]

we just had a storm yesterday that hed straight line winds and i put a vid of the damage

[ontarioweather]

Actually I did not run a light. Law in ontario states "A flashing yellow light means you should drive with caution when approaching and moving through the intersection" It does not mean it is a 4 way stop. If it was flashing red I have to stop. Not sure where you reside but obviously the laws are different there.

[SkittyD]

Cool vid - quick note.

When you approach a flashing yellow / flashing red, or completely disabled traffic light, you treat it as a 4 way stop.

You didn't during your drive in this video - I hope you don't make a habit of running lights.

[GrammyDude22]

Hahahahahahahaha

[ontarioweather]

nope. just intense straightline winds.

[michaeljackson5512]

[Jamiesyme999]

great video , wild core. I stayed on the southern tip of this monster . The core went by to my north, how big was the hail btw ?

[ontarioweather]

max nickle to quarter. Nothing really that big but cooler ice at least

[CyrusNixes]

Awesome video. I love straight-line winds. Also love seeing the weather outside of the United States. 5 Stars
