That being said, I got some great footage of today's storm which I'll upload soon :icon14:

Search around Youtube afterwards, I'm sure you'll find footage of morons at work and get a clue of where some of the real dickheads here spewed out of. Hey busetibi, I'm sure you've heard of Israelis sleeping with gas masks only to never wake up in the morning :olo: Next time your parents try that, please get it on tape :olo:

Glad everything is ok!

That day I was biking from Mississauga to Brampton, I saw the big black cloud just excape me on my whay there, up Hurontario.

On the way back thou (9pm), it turned in to the darkest thing ever, and it really started to rain hard. Glad I was in a buss then.

Even today, it looked bad from the garage.

In severe electrical storms you can get hundreds of strikes per hour in very small areas. Your odds of getting struck are GREATLY increased by doing what Crapstain Spazdumb's dad did, ergo it was extremely fucking stupid.

Right, and I wonder how he became an architect and the leading project manager for Pearson's new terminal, a train station/hub in London, a subway in New York, and an office tower in Chicago. Hmm...

He gives great head? Dude, your old man nearly got killed by lightning because HE WENT UP ON THE ROOF TO CLEAN THE GUTTERS IN A THUNDERSTORM. How can you class this action as anything other than completely retarded? Hell, if it was my dad I'd be calling him a retard, too.
