I was working just behind the Grand Hotel when this was happening. I remember on the commute home how still everything was at 4:30pm that Friday afternoon
I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was ten and living in a small town west of edmonton, Stony Plain. I cried the day before watching the sky to the south, clouds rolling all green blue red and black. Scary shite i gotta say. Ever since then tornadoes have been my life and i love chasing em.
The distruction was simply a nightmare I wasn't waking up from. Driving on Sherwood Park Freeway half hour after, was visually a war zone. Vehicles were scattered, and completly demolished in ditches and beyond. Nothing was left of buildings, or of anything in this industrial area. Even giant oil tanks were dented and smashed. Had appointment at a bank nearby. Wore a construction hardhat, as baseball size hail slammed me, as I made my way from my car. At the time I was unaware of the tornado.
my dad got hit on the head by a hail chunk from that storm, when the first one hit the car he thought someone had hucked a rock at it and got out to see where it came from :P
I live in Grande Prairie AB, never saw a tornado (yet) but saw several tornado and severe thunderstorm watches, a typical day in Alberta. I wish my parents woulda told me what the weather was like here. I didnt like in Grande Prairie in 2004 tho
July 31st is tomorrow. And temperatures and dew-points are going to be very close to what they were when this tornado happened. Risk of severe weather has already been foretasted for Edmonton 2morrow. hopefully nothing like his happens especially on the anniversary. temperature was 25 with dewpoint of 18.9 tomorrow is expected to be 24 and dew-point of 20. jet stream is in the right spot and lower level and mid level winds will most likely produce some good sheer. Kinda spooky
we lived through that.. this was just the beginning.. when noone had any idea what was about to happen next... this gives me ice in my blood when i watch it...
This happened in Evergreen park. i used to live there. theres a rock saying the time and exact info about this. and around that rock is a whole bunch of trees. each tree representes a person who died in the tornado
I remember that event very well, long distance, that is, here in Calgary. I was 17, just graduated high school and was at home with the folks when news of the tornado was on the radio and television. A frightening and uncommon event to have a tornado of such magnitude here in Alberta, for which people were tragically and understandably completely unprepared.
And for those idiots commenting on the voice of the person who captured this historic video, bear in mind that he was obviously talking to young children and did an admirable job in maintaining his composure in the face of what was an anomolous and horrific event and thus kept the children calm, as well.
@peeknocker Yeah uncommon for twisters of this magnitude near calgary scince you guys are near the rockies, but Edmonton is on the plains and so is most of Alberta, we have major tornadoes like this hit rural parts every year, doesn't hit much, but the cities are growing thus becomming a bigger target. Edmonton has been side swiped several times by tornadoes scince then. in july of 2000 edmonton had a night of the region slammed by nocturnal tornadic supercells. Many more over the years.
I know that this was a very sad day, and alot of people died and lost family and friends.. But im sorry the video at the beggining when the kid was like whats that daddy and the dad was like Thats A cloud.. I couldnt stop laughing..
@lilbitch873 You either don't remeber or you were busy somewhere else, Many people don't relize you can't always see the tornado, alot times in Alberta they become rain wrapped., you coulda been looking at a severe storm and see a wall of rain but behind it a tornado. Edmontons general area has been hit several times scince then and before then too. My mom remebers one that hit in 1972 on a farm on the outskirts then where west ed mall is now.
After watching the video, I knew the comments would probably turn into a YouTube racist party. That being said, I can only imagine how dangerous a tornado this big can be for people coming from countries where there are no tornadoes. It's hard for me to imagine what kind of damage 400km/h winds can bring.
@GrantChampionTV yea lol... This tornado hit in a ethnic rich area of Edmonton south side so chances are we are listening to a immigrant. The ethnic population here pretty much built 1/3 of Edmonton as we see it today on the south side. "Millwoods"
ROFL I thought the guy saying "that's a cloooud" in the beginning was pretty damn funny because of how well he handled it, but there are some other comments that I've read that are calling this guy a dipstick and a dummy which is just bull. Even if those comments were from a while ago I still needed to get that point across.
It amazes me how fucking stupid some of these comments are, bitching at the guy in the beginning for saying "that's a cloooud" to his kid. WELL WHAT THE FUCK WOULD YOU LIKE HIM TO SAY?!? Sure yeah, lets just say instead "OH NO, ITS A TORNADO!" WTF? He obviously said it was a cloud so his kid wouldnt freak out and any parent with common sence would do the same. But since youve failed to realize this, its clear none of you have common sence. In that case LOL I hope none of you are parents! :)
I was 15months when this happened and my mom was 9months pregnant with my sister lol she had no idea until she seen a chunk of roof fly by. Lucky too she wasn't far we lived not to far from the path it took
Aside from your usual end of the world scenarios, the end of this excellent footage would be my nightmares come true. And although I live in Montreal, I feel such an event is not impossible.
but i never got a tornado or funnel on tape. The only severe weather i filmed was last summer at night filming a severe storm and the lightning was constant and it was pouring too and if you played the video back when there's a flash it looks like it's daytime.
Being a subscriber and amateur chaser myself, cbehr91, you did an excellent job picking up a very well known tornado that doesn't have many actual footage tapes. I'll admit it was funny when he said its a cloud, but sensational job, watching it go from a multiple vortex to a straight stovepipe monster later on is incredible.
Seriously, to you people commenting how "Canadians are stupid and funny, they never freak out" If I were in something like that I'd yell "LET'S GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!" and probably drive off at a psychotic speed, and if others refused to go with me I wouldn't attempt to make them jump in the car with me because it would waste time...that probably would be stupid, too, but I'D DEFINITELY FREAK OUT.
Naturally most of the deaths were in Trailer Parks...i wonder which...i used to live in Edmonton but only tornado warnings/funnel clouds occurred when i lived there.
my worst nightmare. i hate living in alberta. and in a trailer park. we get warnings for this crap all the time and there's nothing to do but drive downtown since we dont have a basement..
@Axelhander Gosh really? My god, I never noticed that. Thank god that we have super smart people like you on the internet to point things out like this!

3 years before i was born. Anyways I was caught in the tornadoes at Canada's Wonderland 1 year from today, August 20'th 2009. There was 19 that hit that day in southern Ontario. 4 of them were a couple traffic lights behind us. My sister was so scared was hard to keep her calm. During that day lightning bolts were striking consecutivly one after another per second. At Yorkdale mall the lightning went threw the glass ceilings and she was so panic'd. Was an extrodinary day of experience.
@MyThIcPwn For some of you's thinking of what I meant by "extrodinary day of experience" my child hood dream was to be a storm chaser tornadoes in particulary.
@MyThIcPwn i've seen a funnel and a tornado within a year (April 2007 and May 2008) (in the same classroom) and i'm from st.louis. and in March 2003, i was leaving school (it was right after 3:00 and no one left) but the sky was dark (like nighttime but a little green too) and i was 9 at the time and all of us for some reason stood there until the siren went off and then went into the basement but i was upstairs and was really scared and there was a tornado that day but it was a brief touchdown.
the thing is in all likely hood this tornado was an F5. people don't know this but tornado experts don't measure an F scale by wind speed because they still don't know enough about tornadoes for it. so if this tornado would have hit a village instead, it may have gotten an F2 or F3 instead. it has been proven even an F0 tornado can rip apart a regular house if it wanted. but generally F5 tornadoes are measured by how wide the destruction was and how strong the buildings were.
@ultradumbass Most of that is true, but not entirely. The destruction width is not taken into consideration in the determination of the Fujita rating of a tornado, just the severity of damage.
Meh no one cares about Regina anyways. It could be wiped off the face of the earth and no one would notice. Canada would lose a lot of welfare recipients in the process :D Edmonton pwns Regina
@canababe23 o you missed the the 2 huge wind storms we had last summer both of the wind was so strong it measured up to a f1 tornado, gulf ball size hail, and lost of rain
@BeerisAwesome2 umm... for one thing it wasnt really heading towards them, it was going PAST them so i wouldn't be too worried unless it shifted directions and a tornado moving that fast is not very likely to shift directions too quickly...
@curlyjoe8135 The most dangerous thing in the world is people with a little bit of knowledge telling other people the way weather works. This tornado was nearly a mile wide at it's base. Where this video was shot, they were directly in the path of danger. Why do you think a entire cities are under a tornado watch at one time? Because no one can predict where or when it will drop, or it's path. Please study more before you give advice on youtube.
@mmanna82 oh trust me... i have studied quite a bit about tornadoes... it is one of my favourite things to do on my spare time and i can honestly tell you that when a tornado is moving that fast, it is not too likely that it will shift directions BUT i am NOT saying that they are predictable i completely agree that u cannot predict where they are going. All i was trying to say in the first place is that it is not likely to shift paths if it moves that fast.
My mother was in the tralior park it hit.. she was home alone with her friend but luckly they both surived.. My grandmother and Grandfather got spun around in there vechils thought but my grandfather got injured badly but my grandmother was fine after a few days in the hosptial
There were some comments on here asking where that was filmed. I used to live on this street and recognize the houses/surroundings. This was filmed from the front yard of 3516 10 Ave NW, the house and garage most of the video focuses in on is 1003 35 St NW. I went for a drive to the old neighborhood to get that info. The large gap between the two houses at the beginning of the video were two vacant lots at the time, made for a nice clear camera shot. Should be easy to pull up on Google Maps
You're thinking of the resulting debris cloud which is something different. A tornado can be invisible or it can form a cloud and that's a condensation funnel. When air pressure is so low, water vapor in the core cools off creating a whirling cloud. It doesn't always need to touch ground debris in order to become truly visible.
@PanterA325 That's not true in it's entirety. A tornado is most definitely a cloud in the way that we describe clouds as being condensed water vapour. A lot of the debris (dust) makes up the column of the tornado, however a lot of it actually is water vapour. When you have fast enough rotation, the humidity in the air condenses as the temperature drastically drops in the vortex, causing what you see is essentially a tornado cloud. This is similar to condensation trails from jet planes.
@comisrevenge It would be neat if that were the case, unfortunately it is nothing but myth. It was all CGI. I know this because there is very little footage of the Edmonton Tornado, and whatever footage there is, is too grainy and of poor quality to be put into a hollywood movie.
You might want to change the description. First, this tornado was an F4, not an F5. Some have speculated it *may* have briefly hit F5 strength, but that has never been verified.
Second, the Regina Cyclone of 1912 killed 28 people, not 26, and it remains the deadliest tornado event in Canadian history.
Well, the guide to one of the videos this is from says 26 deaths in the Regina Cyclone. But Wikipedia says 28. It was difficult in earlier tornadoes to track deaths by tornadoes because sloppy records were taken. But the description has been updated regardless.
you are lower than a pregnant snail you f@%king moron I will give you a chink up your ass so far that when you sneezed, you would actually give me a blow j*b ...lol as*hole
I still remember a woman at the trailer park saying she lost her son 7 months ago and then this.
The night before Grande Prairie also had severe weather I remember the thunderstorms shaking the house

Meh no one cares about Regina anyways. It could be wiped off the face of the earth and no one would notice. Canada would lose a lot of welfare recipients in the process :D Edmonton pwns Regina

bighare08 2 years ago
@BeerisAwesome2 umm... for one thing it wasnt really heading towards them, it was going PAST them so i wouldn't be too worried unless it shifted directions and a tornado moving that fast is not very likely to shift directions too quickly...
curlyjoe8135 1 year ago
@curlyjoe8135 The most dangerous thing in the world is people with a little bit of knowledge telling other people the way weather works. This tornado was nearly a mile wide at it's base. Where this video was shot, they were directly in the path of danger. Why do you think a entire cities are under a tornado watch at one time? Because no one can predict where or when it will drop, or it's path. Please study more before you give advice on youtube.
mmanna82 1 year ago
@mmanna82 oh trust me... i have studied quite a bit about tornadoes... it is one of my favourite things to do on my spare time and i can honestly tell you that when a tornado is moving that fast, it is not too likely that it will shift directions BUT i am NOT saying that they are predictable i completely agree that u cannot predict where they are going. All i was trying to say in the first place is that it is not likely to shift paths if it moves that fast.

There were some comments on here asking where that was filmed. I used to live on this street and recognize the houses/surroundings. This was filmed from the front yard of 3516 10 Ave NW, the house and garage most of the video focuses in on is 1003 35 St NW. I went for a drive to the old neighborhood to get that info. The large gap between the two houses at the beginning of the video were two vacant lots at the time, made for a nice clear camera shot. Should be easy to pull up on Google Maps

Accually a tornado is a powerful column of winds spiraling around a center of low atmospheric pressure. :D

You're thinking of the resulting debris cloud which is something different. A tornado can be invisible or it can form a cloud and that's a condensation funnel. When air pressure is so low, water vapor in the core cools off creating a whirling cloud. It doesn't always need to touch ground debris in order to become truly visible.
MikeUntstinks 2 years ago
@PanterA325 That's not true in it's entirety. A tornado is most definitely a cloud in the way that we describe clouds as being condensed water vapour. A lot of the debris (dust) makes up the column of the tornado, however a lot of it actually is water vapour. When you have fast enough rotation, the humidity in the air condenses as the temperature drastically drops in the vortex, causing what you see is essentially a tornado cloud. This is similar to condensation trails from jet planes.

@comisrevenge It would be neat if that were the case, unfortunately it is nothing but myth. It was all CGI. I know this because there is very little footage of the Edmonton Tornado, and whatever footage there is, is too grainy and of poor quality to be put into a hollywood movie.

You might want to change the description. First, this tornado was an F4, not an F5. Some have speculated it *may* have briefly hit F5 strength, but that has never been verified.
Second, the Regina Cyclone of 1912 killed 28 people, not 26, and it remains the deadliest tornado event in Canadian history.
MeanGene79 2 years ago 2
Well, the guide to one of the videos this is from says 26 deaths in the Regina Cyclone. But Wikipedia says 28. It was difficult in earlier tornadoes to track deaths by tornadoes because sloppy records were taken. But the description has been updated regardless.
cbehr91 2 years ago 2
@cbehr91 Keep in mind Wikipedia is not a reliable source.
Also, yeah, I know this reply is 1 year late.
Regardless, "strong F4" is still horrible.
