As Canadians we talk about the weather relentlessly, I just talk about it a little more! I hope to provide useful information to my family, friends and all those who simply enjoy talking about the weather. While I try to include information of interest from all over North America, my primary region of concern is the St. Lawrence Valley of Quebec, Ontario, and New York, as well as our neighbouring regions. This Blog is dedicated to my late father for inspiring my interest in weather.

Alex Landfall
Within the last few minutes hurricane Alex, with 100mph winds at a Category 2 status, has made landfall along the Mexican coast about 100 miles south of Brownsville, Texas. Alex has become the first June hurricane since 1995. Heavy flooding rains have been falling all day in south Texas. In addition to the rain and strong winds, several tornadoes have been reported in Texas. Damage has been observed to structures along the immediate coast including on South Padre Island, and power outages have occurred as well. The Governor of Texas has declared at least 19 counties to be in a state of emergency.
