• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Southern Ontario saw some powerful storms, including an unconfirmed tornado near Durham, Ontario that has so far left 1 fatality.

I watched a radar loop of this storm on network television, and it looks as though it was a rather large multicell line that contained at least one strong bowing segment. At this time, there are reports of 70,000 without power in the region tonight.

Thank you for sharing this link; I was amazed by the videos taken from just across the street.

I seems that SE Canada has had a pretty active tornado season this year.
 
Last official report (22:00 tonight) from Environment Canada is talking about 4 confirmed tornadoes and 2 probable for that single day. Many damaged places have not been evaluated yet, so the number could grow. 3 are F2 rated, 2 are F1, and there's a waterspout that made land fall - so maybe an f0 depending of the damages at that place.

During that same day , farther north east got some surprise in Quebec as well (there was no violent weather forecasted for that period). At least one out of two possible waterspouts made land fall from the Cabonga reservoir and small towns nearby.
