Tornado!
I have just logged on today, which is quite late for me, and I thought that a thread would have been started on this, but can't see one.
I was shocked to see the news today about the tornado in Manitoba. Looks like it did alot of damage. Is there anymore news as it was very brief over here? Fingers crossed that no-one was seriously hurt. Karen |

Saw it on the TV here. One street was completely flattened but luckily there were no deaths reported. Here is a pic of the tornado in Elie MB :eek:.
Here is the CBC webpage. No tornados in NS thank goodness, but lots of rain, thunder and lightening :ohmy: |

It's also possible more struck Manitoba yesterday. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2007/...tornadoes.html Cheers Steve |

First time i have heard of twisters in Canada thought this was mostly a mid USA thing. LOAFY... |

LOAFY... Here's a map showing the average numbers per year. http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/englis...gif/image_view The most deadly in recent history would be the Edmonton Tornado of 1987 which killed 27 people, this was also an F4 the same as hit Elie on Friday but the Edmonton one went through a mobile home park. http://www.answers.com/topic/edmonton-tornado Cheers Steve |
Re: Tornado!
Wow cheers Steve interesting stuff. Im kind of looking forward to seeing one but from a very safe distance, thats if i get the opportunity.
Thanks, LOAFY... :) |
