Happy Canada Day!

A happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canucks!

I hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday. I am just taking it easy.

There well be fireworks at 8:30PM close to my place so I can watch them if I want.

Let's celebrate with the Canadian National Anthem

Happy Canada Day! Our fireworks should be in about half an hour once it's dark enough, should be able to see them from here. They almost got cancelled because of a thunderstorm. Seems almost every year this happens. One year they had them during the thunderstorm and it was pretty epic having fireworks and lightning at same time. The storm was more in the distance so it had not started raining locally yet.

Our Canada Day was a little more exciting than usual weather-wise. A brief but intense thunderstorm swept through a part of this city in late afternoon, including a fast downburst with winds nearly 100 Km/hr that blew down trees in our area. I was in the back yard putting burgers on the BBQ despite the rain when it hit. In the middle there was a sudden crack and some Cedar tree tops fell down about 3 m (10 ft) from me. No injuries, just tree damage in our yard. But right next door their huge Spruce tree (about 20" - 24" at the base) broke right off about 5 feet from the ground. Fortunately it fell into a relatively clear space in their yard and over our rear fence, so no big damage. But this will cost them and us each a few thousand $$ to get cleared away. There are reports and a few photos of funnel clouds near this city at that time. We do NOT normally get weather that severe, and never have had a tornado here, so this has been NEWS locally.
