We are…

Afternoon session for the Western Engineering 1st year design showcase for Northern Tornadoes Project 🇨🇦 projects. Some really interesting concepts on display!

The Western Engineering 1st year design showcase is today! Love to see the tornado education projects “sponsored” by Northern Tornadoes Project 🇨🇦!

The Canadian EF scale was implemented on 1 Apr 2013. Today, on 1 Apr 2024, NTP has introduced a revision with some minor modifications & improvements to enable the consistent use of several DIs - and high-quality in-situ wind data. Details at the NTP blog: uwo.ca/ntp/blog/2024/…

Had some time last weekend to do an overhaul of my acoustic pedalboard! Got rid of some pedals, added some new ones, and redid all the wiring. Really happy with how it turned out!

And that is a wrap! A very productive and fruitful week at @ibh_org. We finished off with a bang, firing tennisball-sized hail at our instrumentation to test their upper limits. Many thanks to everyone at IBHS Hail Study who went out of their way to accommodate us this week!

Blink and you'll miss it! Last day at IBHS Hail Study Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety lab, with slow-motion video of simulated wind-driven hail using angled strikes on our hailpads. Terminal velocity plus equivalent sideways component results in total velocity of over 115 km/h for 3.2 cm stones (1/2)

In 2023, Canada exceeded $3 billion in insured damage from natural catastrophes and severe weather events for the second consecutive year while the U.S. experienced record losses of more than $50 billion from severe convective storms. Northern Hail Project 🇨🇦 Western University

The NHP are with the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety in Richburg S. Carolina this week undertaking important tests for our hail monitoring equipment. The high-speed video shows a 5.1 cm (2') ice spehere being fired at a specialized hail sensor at 118 kph (over 73 mph) for calibration purposes. #hail

Testing out the Northern Hail Project 🇨🇦 disdrometers (hail sensors) with the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety / IBHS Hail Study hail cannon!

Last day at the Ontario Science Centre with Northern Tornadoes Project 🇨🇦 and Northern Hail Project 🇨🇦 !

Day 3 at the Ontario Science Centre. Hail drop tests happening every hour, come by for the show!

Testing the Glenn McGillivray hail drop rig on some vinyl siding at the Ontario Science Centre! Northern Tornadoes Project 🇨🇦 Northern Hail Project 🇨🇦
