Sat watching Green street

And had it rudely interupted by

A TORNADO warning bloody hell well have to take cover.

 

Hopefully it was nowt to worry about. We have about 50 touch down every year in Alberta, although thankfully usually out on the prairies, not in the major cities.

I saw a funnel cloud forming when I was driving from Calgary to Edmonton on Friday night, but fortunately it didn't turn into a tornado because there was nowhere I could go for cover in the middle of the highway. We can count on 4 or 5 Emergency Alerts every year that get broadcast on tv and radio simultaneously, warning residents of an impending threat. The only fatal tornado I recall, though, was about 10 years ago when 15 people were killed in a camp ground about an hour away from here. Scary stuff when you get wild weather.

 

Tarn is terrible for tornados too

We feel your pain

 

Deserve to be interrupted watching that garbage

 

The UK actually has the highest number of tornadoes for its land area of any country in the world, believe it or not. There was one a couple of miles away from where we used to live in London a few years ago that made a mess of a few houses. I don't think anybody was killed though, but still a little close for comfort.

 

I seem to remember having a mini tornado sweep through our summer camp about this week two years ago, took a few big trees out. Not far from you actually near Chestertown,MD

 

Well we didnt get tornadoed it missed us but we had a huge storm, it put 3 inch of rain down in 1 and a half hours, there was some flooding but been on the 2nd floor of a condo block it didnt quite reach us.

 

would personally love to go storm chasing for a few days and see one. On my list to do as well as seeing the northern lights in full swing.

 

Hoping when i finally go on a Alaskan cruise we might get to see the Northern lights, think we will be to far south , but you never know.

I have a friend they werer jetting off somewhere and the pilot ask everyone to open there widow blinds as you could see the Northern lights. She said it was just phenominal
