15:37hrs, south central Ontario, Canada

18C (64F), sunny and very windy. Humidity 49%, an arctic flow today.

Yesterday it was similar, but a high of 20C (68F) and extremely windy.

Quite the change from Saturday when it was 82F and humid. We went from summer to Autumn overnight.

Brrrr! The chooks are not very active today!

I'll say it sure was nippy! We're at least getting 74F, supposedly today. I think you're north of here though (Shawano).

We are south of you, are place is in a big kettle (moraine) and are always cooler than weather reports.

Question:
Are these storms Australia’s version of Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coast tropical storms and hurricanes ?I'm sure our winds aren't as bad as what the Gulf storms throw up .. all I can say is that these winds are simply strong westerlies that coincided with a high tide. Our 'top end' around Cairns (Queensland) gets all the tropical action / cyclones.

I doubt these winds would compare to the Gulf storms. The tropical 'top end' of Queensland experiences cyclones.

The winds we're getting are dubbed the August westerlies - and this time they coincided with a high tide, causing beach-front properties to get wet. A sailboarder I ran into yesterday said he was blown back to shore real fast, and was glad.

There is no doubt most trees blown over here and in Melbourne were uprooted due to top-heavy lush canopies from so much recent rain. Our cars are covered in the fine red dust carried over from the west and ppl will be sniffing and sneezing from the various pollens. Tasmania missed the wind wind but is getting a lot of rain, power outages and flooding. Each state got a different severe weather system within the same period.

What a lovely scene! That paddock looks pretty lush.

This time of year it’s usually dry and brown but we have had so much rain!

And the Goldenrod is about 4’ high or more - it can hide my mare almost

Blasted stuff grows everywhere, and with all the rain I wasn’t able to mow it down when it was manageable.

Now I am needing a bush-hog to mow it all down.

Sounds similar to here with everyone getting some sort of wild weather.

As destructive winds die down, Victoria deals with the aftermath of violent storms​

3 hours ago​

Tens of thousands of households are still without power as Victorians count the cost of wild storms that have lashed the state.

As of Tuesday morning, around 40,000 properties were still in the dark, as authorities scrambled to restore power to properties across Victoria.

Power outages peaked at 180,000 on Monday morning, thanks to destructive winds that tore down hundreds of trees, damaged buildings and resulted in thousands of calls to the SES.

A 63-year-old woman from Inverleigh, west of Geelong, died after a tree fell on the cabin she was staying in at Moama, on the border of New South Wales. Her husband was taken to hospital for treatment.

A long list of schools, kindergartens and early learning centres were closed due to the turbulent weather on Monday. Their reopening is due to be assessed again on Tuesday morning.

SES state agency commander Alistair Drayton said the worst of the winds were exiting Victoria — but not before causing plenty of damage.

"There's no doubt that what we've seen in the last 24 hours has been certainly one out of the box," he said.

He said two properties — one in the Dandenongs and another in Corio — were now uninhabitable due to wind damage.

Fierce winds smashed large swathes of the state on Monday, with gusts of 146 kilometres per hours at Wilsons Promontory, 113kph at St Kilda Harbour and Aireys Inlet, and 94kph at Melbourne Airport.

The gale-force winds that struck the coast were likened by the Bureau of Meteorology to the strength of a category two or three cyclone.

The winds ripped roofs off, toppled bathing boxes and sank at least one boat.

In one case in Beaconsfield, in Melbourne's south-east, a trampoline mysteriously flew into Vanessa Rawling's backyard, landing upright.

"My kitchen looks out onto the backyard, and I just noticed a huge trampoline in the backyard," she told ABC Melbourne radio.

"It looked like it had either done the Wizard of Oz and flew up in the air and then … back down, or it looked like it did a gymnastics flip and then landed as none of the fences were damaged," she said.

In the town of Newborough, in the Latrobe Valley, a tin roof was torn clean off, before coming to rest in the property's backyard.

Neighbour Bill Sanderson told the ABC he was woken at 4:30am by the sound of the roof as it was ripped off.

"We're worried about the roof blowing on a neighbour's house or doing damage to our property because it's not secured," he said.

Mr Drayton said more wind will arrive later in the week, particularly on Friday, but nothing like the fierce winds seen in recent days.

"We've seen about seven fronts in about six days, which is, you know, quite unusual, particularly to the extremes that we've had in the last 24 hours," he said on Monday.

"But while we will see increased winds again later this week and during the week … the destructive winds, I'm pleased to say, have departed or left the state."

The Golden Rod sure does make for some stunning pics with your mare.
