It feels like it's been moving the past 5 or so years. I'm in Quebec and we used to get an odd tornado every 5 to 10 years. Now it's been 1 or 2 every year in may-june-july. Our homes are sturdier than down south, but I don't think my province or Toronto will give a F and be prepared for tornadoes until they get hit with a deadly tornado and face the consequences of not being prepared and safety. People out west know the signs of a tornado and get ready, but east coast doesn't or doesn't care and it's concerning.

When we once had an alert in june 2022 for a tornado warning (the ingredients are in place, same cell dropped another tornado in Ontario) and I spotted a funnel right outside my workplaces's window. I panic as its forming. Its inching down and coming towards us. my bf who works with me just goes to the window, shrugs and goes back to working at his desk as if its a normal storm. Even if it was coming towards us and I'm begging him to GTFO into the middle of the building with me that's far away from the walls or windows.

Thankfully didn't touch down near us, but my bf rightfully got a slap to the back of his head for ignoring me once he realized I was being serious, very much scared and showed him the photo I took of it and other funnel clouds and that one did drop north of us (that spawned from that funnel cloud) that he had a "oh, durrr" moment. 🤦‍♂️
