Hello from Canada!

Here's some pictures I took from a 450 miles chase.

If you can read french, maybe you will enjoy all the details about that chase (with more than 70 photos):

Just what is it with this area of Canada that seems to get more severe weather than other places? Wasn't this the same area that got the tornadoes early last August? I have noticed that in recent years, the area bounded by Montreal to Quebec City, on south to the US border really can get some spectacular stuff.

Very nice pictures.

I also like the mammatus clouds on pic 31. Wondering if this storm caused any tornadoes?

They were no tornado report on this day, but several wall-cloud were spot. Also the city of Quebec was hit by a hailstorm who produce tennis ball size hail !

Nice pics Eric !

Well, I'm not sure why it get more severe weather than the other places. Maybe is it because of the greate lakes and the St-Laurent river.

Here's a map of the tornado occurence from 2001 to 2006 by months... sorry, I don't have it in english. But you can see that it occures mostly between June and August.

The "Bew" inscription is where I live.
