well didn't see a tornado, mainly just saw torrential downpours and some lightning

Darn, for the past hour i was trying to see the rotation in that cell but the Nexrad site kept going down for "maintenance" it did have some good structure for a while

The cells south of ottawa that are on warning, they look very turbulent, but unorganized. im watching those for a while. My attention though is on the line of cells moving in from lake huron over the next 3 hours. they seem to be sustaining themselves well, and convection numbers and shear values suggest that they will get stronger as they hit southern ontario to possibly form into a good squall line.
