Yesterday the first time I ever saw a storm come in so dark it made the day look like night, with winds over 80 miles per hour and and moving through so fast. Took out trees and power lines. I’ve been through a tornado and it was nothing like this. Electricity still out here and it’s never been out in this neighborhood for over 3 hours as long as I lived here. Also took out cell connectivity for awhile. My first time seeing this type weather in 60 years. And last week it was the weird weather killing cattle. Something is up.

That sounds like the derecho that hit Eastern Ontario at the end of May. I've never heard of that before. In about 5 minutes it managed to knock out power, cell, internet, cable, and landlines to about 200,000 homes. It took over a week to get back power to many, many customers.
My family in Holland even saw the Eastern Ontario derecho on the news there, that's how bad it was.
Weird.
