near Woodrow, Saskatchewan, Canada!

I find I can see this video on STUFF rather than the Brave website that Will sent me.

Tornado alley moves up into Canada during their summer. They get spectacular thunderstorms on the plains states, I think even Toronto must get some good storms.

Calgary has a good thunderstorm season but the warm season is short there with 6 months of hard Winter. The snow storms would be interesting but you would get sick of snow living there.

GFS forecast sounding for the area where the tornadoes occured in Minnesota yesterday. GFS also shows a surface boundary along which the tornadoes developed.

USA plains are having a traditional hot summer. Forecast for Amarillo next 10 days, temperatures up to 42C.

That tornado got an EF4 rating.

[tornado]

yes the 6th ef4 in the states this year. despite a quiet season. march and april was active though. i was concerned a ef5 would hit there this yer but fortunatly there is a tornado drought there. that is unlikely.

Just cant imagine how that must feel

I drove through Death Valley in the month of August in a car with no air conditioning.

Describe what that was like

[Awhituobs]

remember that the humidity is very low
I did spend a summer in inland california where the temperature got to 115F
Its like sticking your head in a clothes drier
but you dont sweat as the air is so dry, your sweat evoprates

Describe what that was like

My memory of Death Valley is you were required by law to carry water and pick up any hitchhikers.
We had been driving around USA for a couple of months in a car with the air conditioning not working so were acclimatised to heat, the Summers for much USA are hot.

Just cant imagine how that must feel

You wouldn't want to bring a coat with you or a jersey just in case a cold southerly would come through like here in Canterbury on hot NW days?
I can remember one day when we had the property in West Melton, where on a hot day, I forgot to open up the tunnel house before I went to work.
When I came home and opened up the doors and vent, I checked the thermometer I had in there and it said 47C and the heat just hit me as I opened up the door. So I can sort of imagine what a 53C heat would feel like.

[Bradley]

Death Valley running 4F hotter at 120F at 11am compared to same time yesterday, today could be one for the ages!!!
