Yes, we are certainly willing to share Isabel with our neighbors to the north. Hopefully, there is no major win or rain impact up there.

Environment Canada is so concerned because Isabel is starting to look a lot like Hazel. Hazel did major damage to Southern Ontario, including serious flooding and a couple of F1 Tornados.
