To the editor:
One day we get several alerts of storms with high winds and apocalyptic hail stones possible. However, the next day is a beautiful mildly warm day with a few puffy clouds and relatively calm waters.
I hope no one lost their life last night in that horrendous windstorm that just about took our outdoor tents away. If it were not for a few good citizens and a couple of out-of-town visitors standing in the rain holding down the tents, we would have lost them all.
Not one weather alert, not a single mention of damaging winds nor so much rain the sewers were bubbling.
Good thing North Bay does not have many planes anymore or a disaster may have happened.
Did the government slash the budget for weather forecasting and reporting? No, we are just having to get used to high government and social department waste.
