Crazy Storm
Last night at work, I witnessed one of the heaviest storms I've seen in my life. We had golf-ball sized hail that damaged 75% of the cars in the parking lot.
The wind was so strong at one point that it was moving golf carts. We even saw a funnel cloud form on the horizon, though it didn't appear to touch down. It was pretty cool to watch it form though, it looked like a hand reaching down from the clouds.
I think the first time I've ever been scared of a storm, was the momment I saw those golf carts moving past the window. We tried to go out to stop them, but we couldn't get the door open, due to the severe winds.
It was cool to watch, and I'm glad I survived. I don't want to see another one of those for a while though. Also, watch for me on CBC News Winnipeg. I did an interview with a guy about the storm after it happened. I'm sure I'll look like a bozo.
