^Huge like their.......................................land.

Was spending the afternoon in evening, seems like the weather was the same all around, though the orange sky was quite beautiful.

Never seen so much pollution before in my life, like living in mars.

The lightning behind the fireworks was fucking awesome!!!! 2X!!!!

oh noes u replied before i could edit ;) haha i dont know how i missed it

i was on the langely bypass when all this started and damn it was crazy out there..

moral of this "STOP LISTENING TO YOUR LOCAL FORECAST"
i thought it was gonna be near 40 degrees... and what the fuck... totally opposite
lighting/thunder warning, no shit... it is posted after they see the lighting.. i can have my own forecast station too

Actually..weathernetwork is probably the worst.

I trust http://vancouver.weatherpage.ca/ and http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/..._metric_e.html more.

Weatherpage was predicting thunderstorms on Saturday since Tuesday or Wednesday, and it came true. :)

^ thx for weatherpage... ill start checking those from now on

I went to the fireworks... sure, i got soaking wet, but there was the awesome sunset and lightning show before the fireworks, then fireworks and lightning at the same time... couldnt have gotten much better.. (only if there was no rain..)

Never trusted Weather Network. Always found it to be WAY off. We tried using it when I was working with the CASCAR team years ago, it was always wrong, every city we were in.

I think there's an inherent trust with weatheroffice, since that IS Environment Canada's own site, who are the people most other sites get their info from.

Last night's crazy weird weather.

So what was it actually like down at the beach during the fireworks? How many people stayed there to watch despite the weather?

Well, there were definitely ppl leaving, but to my surprise, there were still a lot of ppl. Everyone shouted in excitement every time a huge lightning struck! A lot of ppl had umbrellas, but the announcer recommended we not use the umbrellas for safety reasons...prob don't want lightning to struck anyone! :haha:
Eventually we all got wet and don't care anymore...and enjoyed the fireworks while standing up. :p

For those that went yesterday and saw Canada's display. Which do you guys think is better?

South Africa with Lightning in the background or Canada's fireworks?

Mother Nature Wins with her natural lightning works and thunder sound effects.. Followed by either South Africa or Canada for now...

Was camping in chilliwack, it was nice and sunny on saturday then it started pouring and we were like wtf ,this explains it

yeah the weather changed pretty quickly.
