Well...I'm back. Back from the little slice of heaven that is the family cottage. The pic above was taken by my fiancee Kate and is a nice shot of our dock at sunset. Great pic! The cottage is located on a nice little island (there is a bridge) on a tiny little lake about an hour from Sudbury. The lake is very tiny and there is no public boat launch so it is very private. (I'm not even sure the lake is even plotted on a map...very cool). I try to make it up to the cottage every year to hit the "reset button" but I think Mother Nature is the one that needs to unwind. In addition to the big storm I missed last week Mother Nature was hard at work last night on my return to the "Peter Patch." What a light show! After checking the radar last night it appears we dodged a bullet here in the city as the bulk of the activity tracked south of us. We still saw high winds, lightning and heavy rain last night but nothing like what our friends in Toronto experienced. Wind speeds topped out at 96km/h in the GTA and the lightning was deadly. A lot of ground strikes in T.O. and even here in the Kawarthas. Unfortunately a small cottage near Fenelon Falls caught fire due to a strike and a number of folks were without power. Scary stuff but overall we came out okay. We'll get you all of the details on last night's storm tonight on Newswatch.
