STORM2K

If I put this in Global, who would look? I'm under a severe thunderstorm watch. My locality is Waterloo - Wellington, more specific Kitchener - Cambridge - Region of Waterloo. I might do a local chase for fun today if anything comes a lookin'. There is a few storms southwest of here moving this way.

CrazyC, is the Environment Canada website going extremely slow for you? The radar wont open for me, it takes forever.

Yes it is. I've been using US radars for a lot of this - since much of the activity is in GRLevel3 range (BTW, the demo for me ends tomorrow on it)

Radars are lit up across Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. In addition to the large hail and damaging wind threat, these cells have a lot of heavy rain associated with them. Typical summertime storms.
