blues deville Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Serious damage in Ottawa from a line of weather that passed north of metro Toronto with two tornadoes touching down in the NCR. Started to BBQ about the same time weather was going by our house. Leaves, rain and anything else not tied down was blowing sideways. As I headed back in I heard what sounded like heavy jet directly overhead. We are just south of the YYZ arrivals so I knew this was unusual and it was much lower than normal. Guess who was the only aircraft in the area on PlaneFinder dodging the weather into YYZ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobcaygeon Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Birmingham is notorious for this type of event. Just go on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just didn't handle it right. But they did the right thing and threw away the landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
