That was a whole 5 minutes or less. It's now sunny with blue skies right here in downtown Toronto.

I lied, some major dark storm clouds are coming in.

Driving home last night from Grand Bend to Collingwood, I passed through this storm IN FORCE around Palmerstan (or whatever that town's name was just north of Listowel)

INTENSE! Driving, driving rain. Couldnt believe how hard it was coming down. Worst Ive seen in a long time.

Driving in that weather for 2-3 hours WAS NOT FUN in the dark.

Similar experience to us at grand bend on sunday.

Its like 330pm, ITS THE NICEST DAY EVER... has been all morning and afternoon...

4pm rolls around... and DAMN! Its getting dark and starting to look ominous REAL FAST...

415 hits, and BOOM!!! MASSIVE MASSIVE rain... coming down in buckets! Raiing like cats and dogs, as the expression goes. The ENTIRE beach fucking clears out.

We spend 20-30 mins trying to get out of hte beach in this CRAZY fucking rain thats coming down viciously... but of course everyone is trying to do this, and Grand bend is one massive bottle neck right at hte beach (WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY worse than wasaga is)... so it takes us just that long to actually get out of hte parking lot and onto the damn street.

We finally get back onto the main hwy thru grand bend...and then... OH SHIT!

The sun's out again... when 20 mins ago is was like night it was so dark.

So we turn around and go back. Within 5 mins there's not a fucking cloud in teh sky and its the NICEST DAY EVER... AGAIN!!!

Stayed till about 7pm... so glad we came back! It was beautiful.

Never seen a storm fly through a beach so quickly!
