I live in Hamilton Ontario and on wendsday august 24 2011 we had a massive thunder storm and it downpoured, there was a tornado watch that turned into a warning I dont know which one is worse but The street flooded up to the weather stripping on my prius, over the tires and now there is a light on the dashboard that wont turn off and I havent been driving it.

You DON'T want a tornado.  It's not fun and games when they touch down.

I don't want any damage or injuries but it would be cool to see one. The only tornado I have ever seen in person was a F0 in 2008, which came through Carney's Point, NJ.

@VICNASTY1989 We never had tornados around here until this past spring when more than one came through. We're still cleaning up.

Yikes, hope no one was hurt!

That's never good, there were more "Dixie land" tornadoes this year than usual- Very strange!

It looks like the basis for a tornado, but I saw no funnel cloud. Hail, yes. I have not experienced a hailstorm as yet, though they do happen here on Long Island.

The camera didn't truely pick up how crazy the sky looked yesterday- on the video it just appears light grey and "washed out" but in actuallity the clouds were oily shades of dark grey, brown, and green (weird enough for me to go outside and start video taping them). And there was a 20 degree temperature drop, it was 91 degrees earlier that afternoon, but when I started taping this it had droped to 75. Hail storms are awesome, although the only ones that suffer are our cars- LOL!

@VICNASTY1989 They can generate a Tornado pretty much anywhere now if the Mesocyclone is strong enough.
