This rapidly rotating wall cloud North of Middlechurch, MB came about as close as you could possibly get to producing without doing it earlier this evening #mbstorm

The NOAA hurricane hunters just flew through Erin's northeast eyewall and measured 179 mph winds at flight level (~8,000 ft). At face value that reduces to 160 mph. Category 5 winds start at 157 mph.

🔥🚨DEVELOPING: A man impersonating Justin Bieber tricked an entire Las Vegas night club that he was actually Bieber. They allowed him to perform and paid the man for the performance.

Did you feel shaking on Monday evening at 7:17 p.m. on southern Vancouver Island? 100's did. That was a M3.6 earthquake ~18 km SE of Port Renfrew (70 km W of Victoria). No damage and only light shaking (thanks to the 36 km depth). Details/report shaking: earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/recent/2025/20…

Satellite loop of the long-track storm at its most intense, as it caused significant damage across southern Alberta this evening. Starting along the foothills in the mid-afternoon, it travelled well over 500km, deep into southern Saskatchewan. #abstorm #skstorm

Training thunderstorms produced heavy rainfall exceeding 100 mm (4 inches) in southern Manitoba overnight. Training storms are analogous to a freight train, as storms repeatedly pass over the same location. But why did this happen?
