November 16th is the 321st day of the year. There are 45 days remaining until the end of the year.

A dangerous and damaging wind storm moved across Southwestern Ontario yesterday.

Crews have worked hard to restore power, at the moment there are areas across C-K still without power.

Winds gusted to 90-110km/h.

There is flooding in Erie Beach and area. Mitchell’s Bay is also dealing with water over the banks. Please stay away.

The C-K Public Health Unit will stay in the GREEN-Prevent level of the Ontario Framework; The lowest possible.

Neighbouring regions Windsor-Essex and Middlesex-London has moved to the YELLOW-Protect zone as of 12am this morning.

To be moved to yellow, a region now has to, among other things, record a weekly incidence rate of 10 to 24.9 cases per 100,000 people and a per cent positivity rate of 0.5 to 1.2 per cent. The province says assigned tiers will last for a minimum of 28 days, or two incubation periods, at which point the status of each region will be reassessed on a weekly basis.

Dustin Johnson won The Masters yesterday finishing an incredible 20 shots under par.

That’s a new Masters record, by TWO shots. It was also five strokes ahead of South Korea’s Im Sung-jae and Australia’s Cameron Smith, who tied for second.

Dustin’s younger brother Austin is his caddy, and he started crying on the 18th hole. Dustin said, “I had to jab him a little bit on 18 because he was tearing up and made me tear up. I’m like, ‘I still gotta finish this off, I can’t be crying.'”

Tiger Woods wasn’t really in the running yesterday and he blew up on the 12th hole, hitting three shots into the water, and notching a 10 for the hole. Even worse: It’s a Par-3 It was his first-ever 10 as a pro, and to his credit, it took him 23,789 holes on the PGA Tour before he made his first 10.
