Goderich Tornado part 1 of 3

[bullyboy999]

For those who have never been there Goderich was a beautiful town and still is. They will rebuild it just as nice as it was. Can't wait to head back up there in May when Lake Huron Resort opens again for another fun filled family camping season!

[trimmelw]

I was sick that day

[thatguysgotaname]

my house didnt get hit at all lol i was one of the lucky by mcdonalds... my bud lost his home (wing hong restaurant)

[spacebarinc]

[12345167895]

I Was There On Sat And It Happend Sun 

[rob22924]

Just added a video response here of actual Storm Chaser footage of the Goderich Tornado filmed by a young town resident going after the tornado in his car. He is pretty close to the tornado times & you can see several shots of the huge black "wedge" of the deadly tornado. Hopefully it will appear soon once kshendryk has had a chance to approve for this YouTube channel.

[rob22924]

@rob22924 ... to "kshendryk" ... thanks for approving the video response!

[MissSheetFaced]

@Scottyof80s Umm they wont let people go uptown yet. Destroyed everything but the schools, fucking mother natures a nun.

[98MyLifee]

Wow this is crazy! One year Ontario has no tornado's what so ever, next thing you know were getting a bunch!

[SkyFilmMan]

Devastating, I can't even imagine being IN this. I'm from Petrolia, ON, and we had a tornado touch down in Brigden (10 min from us). I wanted to post on this video, as I'm working to produce a doc on Goderich/the tornado/its effects on the community.  Would anyone know who shot the video that was on the CBC? He was right in the heart of that storm, and it'd be incredible to interview him (and others) for this documentary. Please let me know (skyvid@hotmail.com), many thanks, please take care.

[CrazyMrMexi]

@HurricaneIkesmackdow if you do believe that all Canadians are possessed then maybe you should come on over to Canada out of your basement and we'll show you just how lessee we are.

[CrazyMrMexi]

@HurricaneIkesmackdow do you even know how terrible you are. This city was old and historic and was extremely beautiful. I am amazed that you can relate GOD to hockey and then that to a disaster to punish us?

[super87cole]

is that a tornado siren in the back round ?

[super87cole]

@super87cole background

[flightaddictalex]

@super87cole No. We don't have warning sirens. Have been suggesting their use since I started chasing storms 4years ago.

[super87cole]

@flightaddictalex ohhh ok lol i just thought i heard one in the backround hmm, wish you guys all the best i should drive down and help cleann up

[story762]

@flightaddictalex For a place which seems to generate more tornadoes than the surrounding states, it's surprising Ontario doesn't have more sirens. The time before last that I was in Ontario, Canada, the town of St. Mary's was testing tornado sirens.

[WeLickDuckies]

I had a tornado warring that day, I live so close to that we were lucky

[Ready4Freddy]

What? It looks no worse then downtown Detroit.

[TheKAS68]

Omg I'd be terrified if a tornado can were I live but actually we were having a very bad storm last night and had tornado warnings in the GTA very scary!!!!

[TheStonecoldkillir]

@TheKAS68 were i live he had a tornado warning also i live in the gta also

[TheKAS68]

@TheStonecoldkillir o my were you guys all ok????

[TheStonecoldkillir]

@TheKAS68 ya were all fine luckly the tornado ended before it got to us!

[TheKAS68]

@TheStonecoldkillir o thats good glad your ok XD

[Colyo62]

holy goddamn, all i got was a bit of wind. thanking my lucky stars, that would have easily ripped our old house and our shop down.

[amayaosmin]

"si hubieramos estado aqui, aqui nos hubiera agarado esta mierda!" LOL

[stickman2324]

Then we have another severe thunderstorm and tornado warning we got hit badly

[JustSomeGuyOk]

i thinked that were kind uv funny

[kylethom1234]

they are issuing another tornado warning for south huron area (where Goderich is) . hope it doesn't happen :(

[MsSandiiiie]

@kylethom1234 they also said hurricane Irene may hit the maritimes .....

[kylethom1234]

@HurricaneIkesmackdow canadians aren't demon posessed and ps we whooped u in the winter olympics

[dreyam]

@HurricaneIkesmackdow And what about the EF5 tornado that obliterated Joplin MO on May 22. I suppose that wasn't an "act of God" right?

[animatorbug]

@HurricaneIkesmackdow dude, what the fuck? were people just like you. if your god is punishing us, why didnt i get hit?

[HERPTOLOGY44]

@animatorbug hes obviously an idiot. this wasn't an act of god it was a natural phenomena. they also said god punished Haiti, and Africa children that have only bones. their idiots.

[animatorbug]

@HERPTOLOGY44 i know. i hate it when people do this. i can deal with it when they dont really tell you aboutn it, but when they try to shove their religion crap down your throat, it pisses me off >:(

[HERPTOLOGY44]

@animatorbug yea i hate when people preach bible shit on YouTube, not that i am against anything just its over the top. Why would God punish Canada? and why would he punish innocent African children? and Haiti? i just don't believe in any of that nonsense. I don't know if you were affected the tornado or not, but i my town of Springfield Massachusetts was recently hit by a tornado on June 1st. many people said familiar things. Were you affected by the Goderich tornado?

[animatorbug]

@HERPTOLOGY44 luckily no, i wasnt affected by it, but lots of my freinds and family were up there. most are fine, but a few of their houses are just completely totalled. almost got hit by one last night tho but didnt touch down

[HERPTOLOGY44]

@animatorbug I hope they are okay. most structures in the tornado that hit our town sustained major damage, many completely destroyed. some were swept off of their foundations or obliterated. The tornado also hit towns along a 39 mile path. Are the houses up their destroyed as in sustaining major damage, or completely destroyed as in left in piles with no recognition?

[animatorbug]

@HERPTOLOGY44 mainly major damage, but there are a few you cant even tell what they were, and my regards to your town wishing it a speedy recovery!

[HERPTOLOGY44]

@animatorbug its been fast, but the town will never be the same.

[animatorbug]

@HERPTOLOGY44 same for goderich. the salt mine they have there is down too, so itll probly be different there too

[Blackestblack666]

@HurricaneIkesmackdow Shut your mouth ike. Us Canadians have more class in our shit that you do in your whole being. just shut your puke hole, prick

[EYEMCANADIAN]

now theres supposedly a second watch for that area

[dreamless1234]

where's the tornado?

[kaleigh79]

@TheENTERRAPTURE17 religion is like a penis.. it's nice to be proud of it.. but don't whip it out in public and don't shove it in peoples faces :)

[SupaMangoTofu]

Ughh so many doom-Sayers spamming this video.. Anyways, did anyone else hear that mysterious ticking noise O__O

[DripsGaming]

@alexpwn1 Takes like 3 seconds.

[1016austin]

Planet X is coming to earth around october.. Be prepared for a lot of shit to go down

[OnlyBoo1]

NOW I SUPPOSE WE HAVE TO SEE IF THAT MAN MADE FUNGUS SHOWS UP AND KILL PEOPLE LIKE IT DID IN JOPLIN USA

[alexsherar]

Lol at the guy who thinks thisbis part of the rapture.. What happened to your rapture that was supposed to happen 2 months ago..........................e­xactly

[TheKevinAndRobShow]

@KingMrWest why should he stop thinking about himself? Is it his responsibility to feed everyone in Somalia? just sayin

[Jakevfx]

@TheKevinAndRobShow yea

[KingMrWest]

@TheKevinAndRobShow What the hell are you talking about.... hes saying that Somalia got way too much. Retard, can you read properly?

[Cleeky1]

@alexpwn1 just press ctrl+f to searc words on a pagelike 14488slav

[00836147]

Oh shit goderich is only 3 hours away from were I live at 0.o I hope every one is ok.

[spiottm163]

@jeffbriggs1987 nope i didnt im from southern ontario

[cinereyes]

@KingMrWest how could u expect him to think about other pll when you people dont allow to think about my own person

[spitfacedrip]

The first tornado I have ever seen was in belvidere illinois tornado 1967...I was 9 years old ....twenty-four lives were lost in the tornado, many of whom were school children...

[Belluz81]

Is the bank still open on Sunday this week??

[TheGeddes14]

i  love goderich <3 ill never look at it the same

[holmesmoe11]

I was at work and me and a coworker saw the funnel cloud all the way from London. We knew it was going to be bad just by the size of it

[ApolloStevenson]

My dad told me about this today. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this.

[Hihistables]

I live In Canada I and we have never have a earthquake so god bless canadins

[MsSandiiiie]

@Hihistables we had two! One today (august 24) and one last yr in 2010!

A Tornado destroyed Goderich, which is a beautiful place, and now an earthquake comes!

What's happening to Canada???!?!?!?! This doesn't happen too often!

Ohh my goodness .... God help us ... ):

[jhogn1001]

I live an hour and a half from here and I also went here just a week ago.

[RobReaume]

WoW.....

[arson519]

damn

[takenoprisoner42]

It's 2012! AHHHH

[ilovemyhorses2112]

omfg i felt the tail-end of it in cambridge.my dad's friend was up there during it

[hfhgirl3]

As soon as I heard about I freaked out. It's hard to believe I was there less than a month ago...

[PBLsnake]

This morning we had the end of an earthquake here in montreal(Québec)

[BlackHayateTheThird]

@PBLsnake it was felt in toronto too apparently

[PBLsnake]

@BlackHayateTheThird I heard it came from virginia

[BP1596]

A tree fell on my house :(

[hornymen12]

@BP1596 God damn you F**ked your sh*t up.

[BP1596]

@hornymen12 Yeah :( a branch went through the window

[hornymen12]

@BP1596 ouch fuck, now the worse thing is you gotta pay to fix it.

[BP1596]

@hornymen12 yeah i know, well my parents do haha

[hornymen12]

@BP1596 sucks =/ could of bought something else other than repair sht

[wizeguyone]

hi

[Ayaalucarddevaint]

Man I was camping with my friends when the tail end of the storm and it was so wicked we were in a trailer, I did not know of this till my mother told me today. I wish all the best to the people who lived through this.

[MrJackShrredder]

@Ayaalucarddevaint I'm surprised the tornado didn't head straight for you, trailers are tornado magnets.

[clayton7m]

Tornadoes are fascinating. They can happen everywhere. Theres been at least one recorded in every state in the USA and in every country in the world (that keeps records).

[laurierchick11]

I go to school in Waterloo but I hadn't heard of it until now. Those affected by the natural disaster are in my thoughts.

[negativemotherfucker]

haha i love all this destruction

[jeffbriggs1987]

haha its weird that goderich is most viewd on youtube, i live near there, and todays earthquake tremors made my whole apartment sway like a boat, man the weather lately is insane. imagine it got worse and worse, and humans just had to adapt to constant earthquakes and storms. That would be crazy

[scatnme2055]

@jeffbriggs1987 It will be worse. The Earth is going to go through some drastic changes in the next few years just like it has done in the past. Its just that time again.

[jeffbriggs1987]

@scatnme2055 don't say that man, my sister just had a baby. how do u know anyway?

[scatnme2055]

@jeffbriggs1987 Well dude a LOT of people have babies every day. It doesn't just evolve around your sister. Same with my family...i love them and they are everything to me but the world isn't gonna stop for them. I don't "know" anything except the obvious. This kind of weather is happening in places it has never and/or rarely happened at a increasing scale every month. The underground lines are sinking daily. I don't want to go too deep into other things because i got no clue what you believe.

[jeffbriggs1987]

@scatnme2055 yeah ive noticed it too, its pretty scary. i wish i had no family so i could just enjoy it like woody in 2012.

[scatnme2055]

@jeffbriggs1987 Ha. Nah man you need your family. Especially in these times when you can't trust anyone else. You're very lucky to have whoever is still left in yours.

[HiMyNameIsDeziray]

Awww this is so sad I can't imagine a tornado going through the city I live in. :'(

[tehjadi]

@KingMrWest Yeah and how much of that exactly goes to each person in Somalia lets do the math here 50 million divided by the population of Somalia 9 359 000 is 5.34... So each person out of that 50 million dollars would get 5 dollars and 34 cents..? This money would be more useful in Goderich of a population of 8,000 so each person in goderich would get $6250 think before you speak you stupid prick...

[Tftheking1]

@tehjadi 5.34 is more that enough to feed one person....

[tehjadi]

@Tftheking1 That would hardly feed one person.. Your not thinking they are only sending 50 millon dollars once so each person will only get fed once is what your saying....

[1488slav]

@KingMrWest who gives a flying fuck

thats their problem, why should we give taxpayers money to muslim trash that will use it to buy guns anyways

if we were starving, would they give us money?

fuck off

[SVDShooter]

@1488slav Are you dumb? You donate money to a charity, then they buy food to give to Somalia. You act like the money goes directly to the militia or some shit.

[wetweasel56]

@lesouder2222....I think if you are having babies when you are too poor to even feed yourself you should not get free food, TO HAVE MORE BABIES!

[lesouder2222]

@wetweasel56 think if your babies are now ten and twelve and you've kept them healthy to this point. Then a massive drought hits and you can't grow crops or feed the livestock. Then people with guns steal all the foreign aid(food and such). It's not about Having more babies. Many women there are too sick to even have a kid right now. Sure the world is overpopulated but these people need our help, in the part of the world we're all of our ancestors came from. These people are our brothers

[wetweasel56]

@lesouder2222....an easy fix to this is tell these people you will give them free food but only after they get sterilized. They have no business breeding in a place like that in modern world. It's child abuse!

[wetweasel56]

@lesouder2222.....Being young you can't see as much in this reality as older people can. This world is not a place that humans are supposed to abuse and breed out of control until we have so many people we can't feed them and then BILLIONS suffer.

One drought in the right place and the worlds food supplies will perish. We are draining our resources dry and you think having more babies is ok?

Africans will have 20 kids if you give them enough food to keep them alive. We must stop this insanity!

[Lesouder2222Music]

@wetweasel56 Wow! i got blocked from leaving comments on this video. So much for this debate or free speech..... It's amazing how a tornado in Goderich can spark conversation about social and economic problems in east Africa.

[TMeerkat8]

@wetweasel56 ??? your logic is poor. genrally the poorer people get the more kids they have. that is a fact. rich countrys like the uk and america have normaly 1 2 or 3 kids in a family. in africa they have a lot more. in vietnam they did have many kids but the birth rate is reducing because they are becoming richer. poor people need more kids. there kids grow up bringing in more money and looking after the parents when they grow up. this has been studyed and resurched.

[wetweasel56]

@TMeerkat8....you believe every thing someone says they researched?

You know that governments want big populations. More people, larger tax base, richer government. They do NOT care what a large population does to the nations quality of life or what resources are used up.

Poor people move to western countries and still have big families and governments like that very much.

[TMeerkat8]

@wetweasel56 no. not everything people say they research. when did i say that? this has been researched. its basic geogrophy. poorer countrys have bigger familys on avarage. doesnt mean there are no big familys in rich countrys or any small familys in poor it just means the birth rate is higher in poorer countrys.

[loser2356]

OMG :O

[OfficialTedWilliams]

somalis aferica and any where else there is poor blacck people they never get helped why may you ask? well the people manged the chairty are making tons of money and barly giving to those black people

[jeffbriggs1987]

i live near goderich, it is 2:20 pm, i live in st. thomas ontario, There was justan earthquake here 10 minutes ago, i felt my whole apartment sway back an forth. i went outsie and now there is groups of people outside the buildings, did anyone else feel the earthquake? i heard it was more in the states 

[punkzorr]

@jeffbriggs1987 yeah sitting on my chair, for a brief moment it felt like I was swaying on a boat

[hardcore104]

@jeffbriggs1987 Hahaha i'm in Northern Ontario and I felt it too!! 

[Cinnabonlova22]

btw Walmart isnt closed all the stores over there are all open

[choclatdrop16]

wowsers!

[101msfigureskater]

It's funny how idiots can joke around about something like this. I live close by and the damage is horrific. @dahlabill Most likely Walmart will be closed. Due to the fact that a tornado tore through the whole town.

[Chrisyheart]

My couins live a block from there... whenever we visited them we would drive through here

[TrollMCTrollinMAKKY]

Poor Canada. All caused by the America's HAARP.

[dahlabill]

Gonna visit this town on saturday. Hopefully they still got walmart lol

[ThePwnzered]

Its amazing because ontario almost never has had a tornado.

[Nicolleosis]

@ThePwnzered

They're not uncommon, but since the areas they hit are generally unpopulated, you never hear about them.

[jacknad15]

@Knoobz17 this was in Canada not USA.

[rzarec7a]

Great foliage

[Knoobz17]

@JustSomeGuyOk im guessing your from america...

[JustSomeGuyOk]

@Knoobz17 nope usa

[Knoobz17]

@JustSomeGuyOk ... yes, United States of AMERICA...

[JustSomeGuyOk]

@Knoobz17 no its called the United States of AMERICA...

[Knoobz17]

@JustSomeGuyOk i give up.

[sweiland75]

One person was killed, Norman Laberge, 61, of Lucknow, who was working in a salt mine on the coast of Lake Huron when the storm hit.

[cdgtall]

Haarp

[kaleigh79]

My Heart goes out to my fellow Canadian's.. I hope nobody was hurt and not much was loss.. I still can't believe this is the second tornado i know of around here (1st one was about half a km away from my house).. years ago there was no such thing.. it's really scary to see the weather change this much..

[sweiland75]

@kaleigh79 It's not changing. You're just becoming more aware of it.

[kaleigh79]

@sweiland75 how many have we had in Southwestern Ontario?

[sweiland75]

@kaleigh79 793

[kaleigh79]

@sweiland75 REALLY!? That's crazy.. 

[sweiland75]

@kaleigh79 I just made that number up. I really don't know. ;)

[kaleigh79]

@sweiland75 hahaha lol :)

[sweiland75]

@kaleigh79 :D

[MsSandiiiie]

@kaleigh79 we had a tiny earthquake too ... well wherever it started, it reached Canada or did start in Canada . All i know, i felt it and it woke me up when i was sleeping .

[kaleigh79]

@MsSandiiiie That's crazy eh.. I was taking a nap at the time.. didn't feel though cause I'm a heavy sleeper.. I think the quake started a state or 2 underneath us.. still wild that we felt it here.. I thought we had an earthquake once.. but it was the barn falling down in the backyard :) no joke

[MsSandiiiie]

@kaleigh79 yahh, my friend in VA had the earthquake aswell, so it also occurred in the USA too .

Same with me, i was sleeping then i heard a huge thunderstorm which woke me up . I peaked out the window and it was raining heavily, but stopped for some minutes then began to rain all over again, for another couple of minutes, 3 i think it was ..

Haha, a barn falling feels like an earthquake ? Does it really? I wouldn't know ...

[kaleigh79]

@MsSandiiiie lol.. i must have been about 7 years old at the time.. the barn was really big and shook the entire house.. it was about 70-100 meters from the house.. now another hurricane might hit the east coast :(

[MsSandiiiie]

@kaleigh79 Yep, Hurricane Irene . I watched the news today and it said that it might hit southern Quebec and the maritimes.

I really hope everyone of us, Canadians, will be ok!!!!!!!!

God bless!!!!

[SilverHeavyLobster]

@MsSandiiiie I live in southern quebec! no no no no no! this can't be true!

[MsSandiiiie]

@SilverHeavyLobster they said this, but since you guyz were effected by it at yesterday's tornado, i guess the news was false .

[kaleigh79]

@LowOIL this is Canada we're suppose to get snow storms not tornados.. :)

[16Djmac]

in the same storm a tornado touch down in gananoque which is about 4 hours away and took the rooves of a few house 2 blocks away from where i live, and i was praying for my life that it wouldnt hit mine, i deeply hope that Goderich can recover and if there are any fatalities they will be missed greatly

[Gamestreet12]

@16Djmac

So far one has been reported deceased. I hope the storm there wasn't as bad as here.

[16Djmac]

@Gamestreet12 our damage isnt even close to goderich there but there is a small portion of the town taped off because of damages

[l3arrag3]

I live 25 minutes from Goderich =\ It was soo sunny here. I was just at the movies over there a day ago, and now its destroyed...

[alexandr1a]

@LowOIL yeah for some reason no one cares about Alabama. I just had to Google the capital....Montgomery?? Although I have never heard of Goderich either.

[waytomuchsparetime]

@LowOIL yeah but thats america :p

[1lockhurstk1]

holy fuck lucky i was not there this Year

[MsBenuover]

What the fuck is happening to us!!!! Like REALLY!!! Were all fucked!!! LOL!!!

[sweiland75]

@MsBenuover 2012 is near! Better put on your tinfoil hat! ;)

[Amazmint]

Hope ur all ok!

[happywolf36]

Hey misterdouchey....obviously you have a shitty outlook on life...maybe ya need to douche more as the name suits you. Goderich is a great little town and will be once again!!

[Cinnabonlova22]

@ misterdouchey wow someone must be so insecure that they have to put down the prettiest town in canada. btw if you are canadian you should be ashamed of yourself for saying that and if your not then id like to see where you live because i guarantee, Goderich is 20x nicer that where ever you live dont comment on here you have no idea what its like to have your home completely destroyed in a matter of seconds!

[MrWoopwoop98]

@bullhornman2010... U suck... Hmmm I wonder how many times the canadiens won the cup um around 24... The bruins...2 and that's more than chara can count so. Shut up and go worship ur crappy ass bruins, u insensitive prick

[happywolf36]

As a former resident of the Prettiest Town in Canada, you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Go Vikings Go!!

[Kurmuh]

wtf is happening to us, like really... we're all fucked

[SethandShayne]

i was in that storm and no misterdouchey its not a shitty village it was going to be capitol of ontario.

[SethandShayne]

@jamieownsuok they got 5million to fix up town

[gomezeduardo1]

All racists comments should be banned from you tube or any other site.

[XxDarkLuckyxX]

PLEASE! My town has been destroyed! My friends are homeless! Stop arguing about money and pray for us!

[Cinnabonlova22]

@Bullhornman2010 you obviously have no clue about hockey or have NE sympathy about what happened here! by the way there were more canadians on the boston team then there were on the Vancouver team so go shove it. We are better at hockey than USA so deal with it!Also why are you even posting about the NHL playoffs on a video about a devastating tornado hitting the prettiest town in canada! You obviously have nothing better to do so go get a life you stupid, arrogant, rude, selfish, fat american!

[Burt521]

From Tuscaloosa Alabama We wish you the best and hope everybody is okay.

[amberrrrrrrr16]

The fact people are arguing over this is pathetic. Maybe its time for Canada to help our own people instead of everywhere else. I like when my taxes go to help people in our country. and to the people against helping the people of Goderich, I hope your roof gets ripped off in a tornado and nobody helps you with ANYTHING AT ALL.
