At least it's not Nibiru.

That is truly fucked up

That is one of the most batshit crazy stories I’ve read in quite a while.

And I find it impossible to believe EBay’s CEO had no knowledge of or involvement in any of that.

Here's the fucked up bit for me personally. The cell passed right over my neighbourhood and we didn't receive a Tornado warning until just after it passed over. Was maybe 5-10 minutes between it passing over us and it touching down.

We must be really close. I’m 5k from Prince William Way. Such a mess. Blows my
Mind how the one home lost the bottom level.

EBay blows. This is the large cherry on top.

I'm in Ardagh Bluffs. The storm was tracking from Georgian Bay. That cell passed right over my neighbourhood (watched it on the radar after the fact), over Allandale, and then yeah on to the Mapleview/Prince William area.

I happened to be passing through the area a few days later and fucked up my route, ended up going through the neighbourhood where it touched down. One of the wilder things I've ever seen. You would see a completely demo'd house and then the neighbour had a few windows out, some shingle/roof/gutter damage and then the next house over, fucking nothing, maybe a bent gutter or something minor. Same pattern over and over in the neighbourhood. One house badly, badly damaged and the neighbours barely touched.
