Downtown Toronto ON (population 2.5 million people) under rare TORNADO WATCH and SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING. skies getting extremely black out west now.
Special weather coverage on the tv. Weather Network doing a very good job.

Yeah, I have been tracking this for the last 4.5 hours. They gave out a pretty nice swath of tornado watches today in southern Ontario. There have been reports of funnels in different areas. I think they were a little trigger happy on some of the TOR warnings but some were needed. Woodstock Ontario had green/blue skies.

I think one problem came up around 6:30 pm when the radar shown on TV wasn't updating very fast and they were warning people of various storms that had already went through 30 minutes ago.

It sounds like parts of Michigan got slammed really hard too.

Anyone see these weakening anytime soon? Please say yes! I am so tired of this...

I guess I should clarify and mention that I am referring to the massive bow echo SE of ICT and NW of TUL!

[CrazyC83]

It doesn't seem to be weakening...

life-threatening flooding ongoing across northeast iowa and southern wisconsin.

* A LIFE THREATENING...HIGH IMPACT FLOOD SITUATION WILL CONTINUE
OVER THE WARNED OVERNIGHT...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF LIFE FOR
THOSE TRAVELING THROUGH THE MOST SEVERELY FLOODED AREAS.

* IN THE LAST 36 HOURS...WIDESPREAD 3 TO 5 INCH RAINS HAVE
FALLEN...WITH MANY LOCATIONS IN A BAND ACROSS NORTHEAST
IOWA...EXTREME SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA...INTO SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN SEEING
BETWEEN 5 AND 8 INCHES OF RAIN. THIS HAS CAUSED WIDESPREAD OVERLAND
FLOODING...WITH NUMEROUS ROADS UNDER WATER AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGED.
CREEKS AND STREAMS ARE WELL OUT OF THEIR BANKS. MAJOR RIVERS ARE
RISING RAPIDLY AND SOME HAVE ALREADY BROKEN THE FLOOD OF RECORD. THE
KICKAPOO...UPPER IOWA...AND CEDAR RIVER...AS WELL AS THE TURKEY
RIVER...ARE TAKING THE BRUNT OF THE FLOODING AND MAY THREATEN
INFRASTRUCTURE OF COMMUNTIES THROUGH WHICH THEY PASS.

RIVERS WILL CONTINUE TO RISE OVERNIGHT IN MOST AREAS...WHILE SMALLER
CREEKS AND STREAMS BEGIN TO RECEDE AS RAINS BECOME MORE SCATTERED
AND LIGHT. OVERLAND FLOODING WILL BEGIN TO EASE OVERNIGHT AS RAINS
LET UP...BUT THE DANGERS OF WASHED OUT ROADS...MUDSLIDES...AND
UNSTABLE BRIDGES WILL MAKE ANY TRAVEL A LIFE THREATENING AND
DANGEROUS CHOICE IN THE HEAVILY FLOODED AREAS. DO NOT...UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES...GO AROUND A BARRICADE IN THE ROAD.

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODING. IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED ACT QUICKLY. MOVE UP TO
HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS SUBJECT TO
FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.

IN HILLY TERRAIN THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF LOW WATER CROSSINGS WHICH ARE
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IN HEAVY RAIN. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRAVEL ACROSS
FLOODED ROADS. FIND ALTERNATE ROUTES. IT TAKES ONLY A FEW INCHES OF
SWIFTLY FLOWING WATER TO CARRY VEHICLES AWAY.

as of 9 p.m., madison has recorded 5.6" of rain this weekend, but radar estimates are nearing 1 foot just to our northwest. these are almost the exact same areas affected by record, "thousand-year" flooding last august. in some instances, this event is expected to be worse.

[Bunkertor]

Power outage reported in Lake(ers) County

Basketball-signal interruption. They broadcast from Illinois or Wisconsin or so

[Cyclenall]

For some reason, The Weather Network is still showing the red bar at the bottom of the screen with the tornado watch. This should have ended 5 hours ago!!! What are doing over there?!?
