Big storm coming!

I was about to head out to the store here soon but my husband just called to tell me that a big storm is headed our way.

From the Weather Network:

"A cluster of strong thunderstorms is moving quickly eastward from Michigan into Southwestern Ontario. The main threat with these storms is large hail, as the strongest have had a history of producing hail up 4 cm (1.5") in diameter. Strong wind gusts are a lesser threat. This is an alert to the potential development of severe thunderstorms with large hail and damaging winds. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements. If threatening weather approaches take immediate safety precautions."

I think my shopping can wait until another time. I'll post updates!

Update: 2:00pm EST - The rain, thunder and lightning have started and there's a possible tornado warning! I'm going to try to record some video with my camera. I'll post a link if I'm able to get something.

2:55pm EST - The storm has passed. No hail or tornadoes. I can go out and do my shopping now!
