Environment Canada meteorologists are following a series of severe thunderstorms producing penny sized hail and heavy rainfall in Newfoundland.
 
The storm is impacting the St. John’s metro area and should continue to do so for the next hour.
 
Warnings were issued for St. John’s, the Avalon Peninsula North, Avalon Peninsula Southeast, Avalon Peninsula Southwest — where EC warned of “severe thunderstorms capable of strong wind gusts, dime to ping pong sized hail, and heavy rains,” Saturday.
 
“Doppler radar indicates that some of theses cells appear to have embedded rotation,” added the agency. “In addition, potentially damaging winds up to 80 km/h with heavy rain giving amounts in excess of 20 mm and large hail may be associated with these storms.” 
 
“St. John’s typically sees less than five thunderstorm days per year, and severe thunderstorm warnings for the area are quite rare,” explained Weather Network meteorologist Tyler Hamilton. “The marine climate normally inhibits severe storms, but occasionally the atmosphere can  become unstable over Newfoundland which would favour convective activity.” 
 
And in a relatively rare event, residents of Mt. Pearl reported spotting a funnel cloud Saturday afternoon. Check out the stunning images below.

  1. Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin
