@HistoPol I no longer live there. But I can't reach my friends.
Oh, my, I thought that. 
How is a #BombCyclone different from a "standard" one.
Has this happened before in #Canada?
Yes, thank you. So not the 1st one, but they are a rare ocurrence.
@HistoPol

Part of my country is hell bent on increasing supply of the dirtiest oil in the world!!.
Thanks to the Alberta government! /s
