Scribbling some perspective on Canada, Ottawa and whatever else crosses my mind…
This is a map which supposedly tracks nasty shit happening in the world in real-time.
Earthquakes? Yup.
Floods? Oh yeah.
Forest fires? They’re hot on that!
Plane crashes? They’re DOWN!
Haven’t had chance to verify if it’s everything it’s cracked up to be… but take a peek..

@OttawaDaddy pointed this out on Twitter this morning. I too am amazed at how few people used the Environment Canada radar site to see the storms approaching after receiving Twitter warning & retweets!
Check it out. Easy to use, folks.
This is what it showed this morning. The basics are: orange and red – bad. Purple – head for the hills!
Even simpler, just look at the sky. This is what I saw as the storm rolled in.
Sorta gives a clue about what’s coming, eh?
@OttawaDaddy suggests that everyone should follow @ww_ottawa for weather warnings. Have separate Tweetdeck column. and re-tweet warnings… and I couldn’t agree more.
