Okay, so WTF was up with Saturday Night?

The Saturday night view from the balcony of my Whyte Ave. apartment.

Good morning gang, and congratulations on surviving the wind-pocalypse that occurred over the weekend. I personally spent the majority of the night hiding under my bed, Scooby Doo style, trying to remember whether in case of tornado you should or shouldn’t go outside, or into the basement, or stand in a doorway.  So I may or may not have spent part of the evening standing, in the dark, in the doorway of my bathroom. But that’s neither here nor there – what IS both here and there (and everywhere) is tree debris. Man, it was like a tree genocide out there.
