Water Spout "Tornado" in Montreal

[Vinnup25]

I'd rather say "eh" than be fat.

"Oh sorry, I thought it was just a stereotype."

[Lotis10000]

the second a water spout hits land it breaks so its safe

[superunfly]

Check out my waterspout vids. took them in Hatteras. incredible!

[rageatm4life]

so amazing

[Datleco]

Dude, water spouts in my opinion are even freakier than tornadoes because there's just no hiding from them if they decided to cross the DAMN WATER! Tornadoes are for the land but then can do that shit?! There's little to no hope if it's following you, I remember reading that they would launch fish and whales miles inland, crushing cars, landing in intersections, etc.

[rageatm4life]

@Datleco Sounds like free dinner to me :)

[Datleco]

@rageatm4life Hopefully it doesn't crush the hell out of whatever you own first. :P

THEN you can enjoy some deep dwelling fish or perhaps enjoy a WHALE!

[YUKISNOWSETO]

Tornado do get thirsty you know. They don't always touch dow to destory, they want a drink every now and then. XD

[Datleco]

@YUKISNOWSETO Just a little fly fishing, no big deal

[YUKISNOWSETO]

@Datleco Haha! That's made my night! :) Drink and some food. XD

[HaroldHHard]

HEY A TORNADO !!!  WATCH OUT PPL !!!

[Myaucat]

i would go up to it with my boat.. get a better look at it.. video tape it

[mysterylove55]

@Myaucat lol u would die

[Myaucat]

@mysterylove55 nahh... even if that thing sucked me up it wouldn't kill me... maybe give me a few broken bones, but that's about it... it'd just throw me back into the water somewhere. (i think)..

[CDN7311]

@mysterylove55 I've been right next to a waterspout. They don't have anywhere near the power of a tornado. You can see my footage on youtube

[mysterylove55]

@CDN7311 Alright, you can go ahead and get right next to a C5 tornado! I was just warning you guys...

[CDN7311]

@mysterylove55 But that's not a tornado, mystery. Waterspouts don't have the same intensity as a tornado. And yes, I agree that a C5 would certainly mess you up!

[mysterylove55]

@CDN7311 Yeah, but then again I have no idea why the title says "Tornado"

[dragonridley]

@CDN7311

Waterspouts are usually about the same intensity as an EF0 or EF1 tornado

[WaterJenJen33]

Water Spouts ROCK... I would love to see one!

[Fartdemon]

just what I imagined, hot french university girls in montreal, I shoulda gone there, thats where all the indy hipster arty girls live

[davewierszewski]

notice how even if it didn't say this was filmed in montrial a normal person would be able ta tell where this was ... " A"? hahaha cool vid

[1967jenn1]

nahh... waterspouts are pretty harmless... their winds are like 30-90mph.... I was in that office building, we were just suprised about the fact that their was a waterspout in Montreal... we never get any action here... lol

[kandyeyes17]

@tahyr Psh

[DLRjr94]

Thats really cool!

[Data782andSamy0]

Woot Philana!

[ArshavinatorTheTres]

I like how theres a water spout on the other side and the people in the background are talking casually.

[SchmidtyXX]

@tomdabom713 Why you are in a car? you will be past it in half a kilometer then gone...

[tomdabom713]

@SchmidtyXX haha idk bc i have never seen one b4, but know the unpredictabilities (if that is a word) or these monstrous storms.

[snufleufugus]

lmfao you guys are Canadian and one of you said "eh?"

I thought that was just a stereotype

[superpknerd]

no cause water tornado's dont go on land.. cause when they do they go away i think :p

[moronic316]

its zeus whos peeing

[rentenzen1]

@moronic316 acually its cloud coming down so as it makes contact with water ,water comes up as the air came down from the clouds

[moronic316]

@rentenzen1 i know! its very clear that im just joking!....

[Revanchist2]

lol it's God's straw

[aboutashow]

i wish i could be that calm about seeing a tornado across the street

[TheSyncopator]

@aboutashow Thats no longer a tornado. A tornado becomes a water spout as soon as it crosses a body of water. :-)

[bmx67856]

cool

[Permafrost777]

0:15 "Wild, eh?" ...Lol, Canada.

[Data782andSamy0]

@Permafrost777 Better than saying huh =P

[wadjet55555]

@Permafrost777

-.-

You have no idea how annoying those stereotypes are.

[addrenalinedrummer]

@Permafrost777 Gotta love Canada! Hahaha

[Data782andSamy0]

@Permafrost777 Not all Canadians, this is in Quebec where it's French =P

[Mickr4]

@Data782andSamy0 What's your point? Not only Québecois-anglo say, he... It's all over canada.. but maybe quebekers use it more often XD

[deathbymonkeys1000]

@Permafrost777 shut up about canada its better then usa

[lilqnzfranky]

Coo stuff (:

[channelEARL]

god needs a sip of water.

[TheiEmmyCrew]

i was at Laronde that day

[ChaChingOnDhaBling]

GO HABS GO!

[TheSamAndSean]

Thats so cool

[CrazyMario5]

I never saw one and I LIVE in Montreal. :( I didn't think we got any.

[Apsouuu]

i did that ':)

[TheCMPUNKbiggestfan]

dont want to swim there at that time hehe

[whfuys]

i actually saw one too in Grenada ...thats in the caribbean

[JusteunMusicien]

"wild, EH?" lol@ canada

[TheiEmmyCrew]

@JusteunMusicien dude, canadians barely say eh

[JusteunMusicien]

@TheiEmmyCrew 0:15 broder, c'mon

[zachfresh]

thats soooooooooo sick

[3333sweetie]

Are water spouts as dagerous as tornadoes? why?

[KoronofHearts]

@3333sweetie They could be for a few reasons:

-They could come to land

-There's no basements on a boat.

[Rain1290]

It depends on the nature of the waterspout. Most waterspouts are not associated with severe thunderstorms, but those that are can usually deal greater damage, simply because of the more violent winds associated with these tornadoes. If waterspouts move onto land, they may do minor damage, but most are generally rated at EF0 strength on the Fujita scale.

~Trav.~

[theoneandonlylanky]

If i'm correct wasn't there a wicked thunder storm after that apeared power was out for three days

[robertgift]

Why only 1:20? Excellent videography!

Many morons frame the vortex on surface centered midway up the frame.

You place it at the bottom so we can still see it and more of the funnel.

Plus you backed out to allow better perspective and then zoomed in for detail.

Surprised those driving did not stop and watch this rare phenomena.

In Colorado, almost everyone stopped on I-25 to watch a F-1 tornado.

[xukaro3]

what happen if you fire a misil at a tornado? it will stop it??

[Dflash20]

haha till you die

[clrhilla]

I Would hate to be near a water spout!

[213BleachFan1]

It's Near Alcatraz.

[LilBiie]

wtf no it's not. alcatraz is in san francisco (US) and this is montreal ( qc, Canada) dumbass

[partootie]

oh my god..why are you guys so...calm?

lol i would have been running and screaming for my life

thank god we barely have any tornadoes her in ontario...

[randomnessgurl46]

@partootie i was actually watching this with my sister and i was like this is so cool!

[manljames]

dude i live in mtl and ive never heard of that... WTF? and if you listen carefully, a girl says this one is bigger than the one at the airport.

BTW : Montreal is loaded with bilingual schools, which makes us an English and French speaking city.... A

n wht pisses me of are americans trying to speak french to us, but it turns out 2 b an arab language with a retarded acent. IM NOT BEIN RACIST, but its true, coz my friend understood some of the "french an american told us. FRENCH es como español

[keefer2111]

@manljames We should be lucky that any Yank would learn and speak French.

[ChelseaHysteria]

"wild, eh?"

Sorry, had to point it out. rofl Love Canada though.

[OMGSCENEQUEEN]

how were you guys so calm?! i wouldve been running away, very fast. haha.

[Binford61OO]

@OMGSCENEQUEEN

I've heard that tornados on the water are not as dangerous as tornados on the land...

[initialdluvr]

we got one of these in southern california. yeahh you guys are probably thinking, "we get that a lot" but it was breaking news here in so cal. hahah cool video.

[Kreicherisch]

I was surprised how you didn't speak French?

[toiletholder]

A big chunk of the population of Montreal is English-speaking. They however also speak French as a second language. If you listen to some of the guys in the back, they are speaking French.

[Kreicherisch]

Good to know. I asked my friend from Canada (not Montreal) and he said most of them speak French and English, but prefer not to speak English.

[toiletholder]

Oh ya and also there are many people who ONLY speak and understand French in Montreal. If you try your best to speak French with them, most of them will be nice and help you out. A very small amount are d-bags about it, though. Just a few more tid bits. I like telling people about Canada.

[LilBiie]

@kreicherisch some people are speaking french in the back ground: "c'est beau hein?" And montreal is french and english by the way ;)

[HigurashixFanatic]

Once it hit Brossard (all the wind and stuff) I had to bike home in the wind and rain.... Lost power for five days!

[webkinzlover528]

I live in Montreal, and I never saw that LOL on ctv news...???

[OmniOwni]

they do go faster on water than land though

[Chai0628]

so I guess water tornadoes are harmless since all those cars don`t care there`s a tornado at the other side

[dragonridley]

They generally aren't as strong as normal tornadoes, rarely exceeding intensity equivalent to an EF0, but they do pose a hazard to boats.

Even then, I've seen video of people driving by an F5 tornado without seeming to notice.

[NextSLDNX]

@Chai0628 they don't even see it !!!they are fixed on getting into the bumper of other guys

[rentenzen1]

@Chai0628 what about the boats

[300tunes]

@Chai0628 I guess the tornado is already taking up to much mass...

[vewdew3]

@Chai0628 well you dont really want to stop if it was right ???lmao

[xxxtangerinexxx]

@Chai0628 what do you want them to do.... all stop so theres a huge accident ?

[reymatt76]

@Chai0628 What are they supposed to do? Stop? By the time you see it your'e already passing it.

[Rain1290]

Waterspouts are not as destructive as tornadoes that are associated with supercell storms, but they can be hazardous to vessels on the water while dealing minor damage if moving onto land (speeds are near 45 knots).

It should be noted that tornadoes of the supercell variety can also be deemed "waterspouts" should they migrate over water. In this case, these tornadoes are more dangerous, as they usually endure for longer time periods, and their rotative speeds are commonly faster.

~Trav.~

[hotsumathekiller]

@Chai0628 but they can also cuck you and you cant breath inside

[KristinaRing]

How long did this actually last for?!

And am I one of the only Montreal-ers that didn't actually know about this?! lmao.

[moldylemoninc]

You know, Prince Edward Island seems like the ideal place for a tornado... Surrounded by water, large open space. But I think we've only had one small one.... Before I was born...

[Ryu12543]

I think my worst nightmare would be being out in the middle of the ocean when a huge tornado formed and started pulling you in, but I mean HUGE.

[Darkheart101]

that year in windsor ontario we had a few, I got to see a water spout =) I was pretty far away though, at 1st I told my dad "damn thats a weird looking cloud"

[thinkB4Uflame]

We had like 70 tornados that day!..who here is canadian?

[Tjikkie24]

pretty

[sammelina12]

I was pretty close to it !

[sammelina12]

I was on Lake Eerie and there was three of them, and we had to wait for boats to get out for about 15 minutes, I was freezing, tired, annoyed, petrified and just wanted to go home. What a nightmare.

[coolalving2]

i almost got sucked up in one aka tornado

[SaveUsBTP]

Those things freak me out.

[DanteLuvBD]

can't imagine I was swimming lol

[kiage12]

sorry it's not a tornado is a marine tube

désole c'est pas une tornade c'est une trompe marine

[AntoDamicoShow]

Marine tube? no.

Its a not a marine tube lol.

''Marine'' lol

[Teigokane]

water spouts are categorized as non supercell tornados.

[xMazingerZ]

Je ne rappelle pas avoir entendu parler de cette tornade l'an passé

[canadagirl97]

i never heard of a tornado or waterspout in montreal.... how long did it last for and did it ever come on land?

[skysongkitt]

Hey I remember that being all over the news :D

[m0ntrealcanadiens]

thats the only place it would happen in places like montreal. very rare for a tornado to touch down on ground in montreal because of the buildings and homes.

[dragonridley]

Buildings do nothing to stop a tornado.

[fldoughboy72]

That's 100 percent false information! Tornadoes can and do go anywhere including downtown areas.

[Teigokane]

That's wrong. There have been several tornadoes hitting big cities.

[LP1995XL]

fire tornado went 20 miles in California

[gohabsgo2008]

woow, i saw it last year...

[dogbuddy555]

those are so amazing! lol waterspouts make it the storm more bigger and stronger may sound weard but its true

[rivestalex]

Crazy. It was also hailing.

[crazy4you12345]

i lived in montreal all my life ive never heard of a water tornado ud think it would have been on the new lol what where was i???

[alixxmcr94]

i never heard of a waterspout in montreal......?

[tamtbell]

Oddly enough, the woman in this who is talking at first sounds a lot like me! Weird!!! My son actually asked if that was me talking and if so where was he? LOL

[akwatik92]

Are they dangerous ? Maybe not on earth but for ships ?

[WinstonAdrian]

Cool!

[SoccerBalbus]

thats scary

[helenagothicangel13]

Holy shit, this is good! I do not recall this...

Wasn't there some really crazy storm here last June though? I remember sitting in a field near the St Joseph oratory and some man told us to get inside because there was a tornado forming. Does anyone know what that was?

[Libanass]

this water spout never leaves the water?

[evalongoriasolis]

WHOA!

I didn't even know that there was one in my city geez

I must of been out of town!

[AceBulletProductionz]

:O tornado at mtl?? never seen it before here where n when was it lol

[ojumpmano]

i love tornadoes.lol!

[ARRANCARfan11214]

Its God's drinking straw! I want one!

[colinward007]

lol the Tornado has worked so hard to suck up dry land so that Tornado is very THIRSTY! need some water hehe

[lickm3ify]

@colinward007 lol how long it take u 2 come up wit that one

[tandemmontecello]

so what exactly is the difference bettween a waterspout and a tornado? They both come from a big ass cloud, look the same and move the same. I think the only difference is that one is on water and one o land

[mitho88]

i think waterspouts can be much weaker than a tornado as their way to form's slightly different. theyve been seen under small thunderclouds or even regular clouds, whereas tornadoes almost only appear with super cells...

[ray40cal]

tornadoes are usually more powerfull than water spouts. There's a thing called a land spout also, which is about the same strength as a water spout or EF0 twister maybe hurricane force winds but they wont lift a house off it's foundation and throw it in a lake

[fishmeats]

very nice footage! this is a nice one!

[GreekDestination]

LOL the people in the background! Wow awsome video by the way..

''Look at that picking up the water! Oh shit! its the first time i ever see that..! ' LOL!

[Kittylover9393]

lol this was filmed on my birthday ^^

Awsome video btw.

[Kiari4]

I herd once that after a big water spout it rained fish somewhere! lol who wants catfish?

[Rain1290]

I think I heard of this as well, but I had also recalled that, at some location, a thunderstorm updraft was so powerful that it was able to allow small fish to rise into the cloud. The result was that, in addition to heavy rains, fish came pouring down to the adjacent coast. I'm not entirely positive as to how truthful that story is, but it does sound fishy, no?

~Trav.~

[K9700]

well hatke wtv sage person is wronge n bomberzone is right about wirlpools n all .... but i dunno about tornadoes but clouds are water capor so most or some elements of a tornado are water not jus bcuz it sucks it in but what makes it spin i 4get search wikipedia kk

[HatakeSage]

its a water like structure how about that? however it does suck up water o0

[HatakeSage]

A water spout is just a tornado that formed over water. Its base is made of water because thats what it sucks up (Unlike regular torndoes that a black and grey (because they suck up debres from dirt.))

Underneith the water spout is a whirlpool.

lol just saying this all because i felt like it.

I lived in Michigan near the lake, they had a lot there.

[seussremix1395]

cool

[Rain1290]

That's about right. However, a waterspout isn't always considered to be a tornado over water. A typical tornado is always associated with a severe thunderstorm, while waterspouts, by contrast, can develop without them - in most cases they form in association with congestus clouds. Still, a typical tornado that moves over water can be deemed a waterspout, as you said, but these are often more violent versions of waterspouts given the nature of their winds.

~Trav.~

[TokioHotelBabe37]

waterspouts are tornadoes in water

if they are powerful enough and they reach land , it will turn into a tornado

or if it isnt very powerful , it will turn inot a hurricane.

but most dont last long enough for them to reach land.

[ray40cal]

water spouts are weaker than tornadoes in general. They don't turn into hurricanes either.

[dragonridley]

I've read accounts of waterspouts being as strong as F2 tornadoes. In one case a tornadoes that was an F5 at one point became a waterspout.

[belltowerphantom]

...water spouts are creepy...

[DeathbeastGregar]

agreed.

[hardrockdipper]

definitely creepy

[hell0laylay]

OH. EM. GEE! I live in MTL, ahhhhh, I wish I was there. T_T That was so awesome. O: I want to fly up in the skies... lol.

[iceangel4902]

this video rocks i keep watching it over and over wow i cant belive how big the waterspout is wow!!!!!

[miollono]

tout simplement magnifique

[tmoney1088]

WILD EYYYY! hahah Canadians...

[iceangel4902]

wow that is one huge waterspout it must have been scary!!

[axxuka]

I was there, and it is VERY scary. I'm 15 yearsold, so it's quite something.

[bluemountain555]

Was there ever been a case where a ship was sucked up into the funnel of a waterspout?

[TheColoradoan]

I don't think it has enough power to lift a ship.

[haz3yb0y]

i think they do because its just like a tornadeo but on water so if u get a powerful one then it will probably lift anything.

[menofduke]

ENFIN KEK CHOSE A MONTREAL XD

[Jamiesyme999]

theres spouts and then there is tornados they are different mechanicly regardless if on land or water , if a true waterspout goes onto lant then its a landspout if a tornado on the water aka tornadic waterspout goes on land then its a tornado , all about the mesocyclone

[luther349]

water spouts do not have a very fast rotation they rarely form into a tornado. the water slows them down to mutch. but not to say it does not ever happen. my naberhood was hit buy a small f1 that formed from a water sprout the took out a tree that hit my nabers house.

[luther349]

water spouts rarely hit land they stay in the wazer. so they didnt have alot to worry abought.

[Kakkoii666]

Waterspout do hit land....there's waterspout who are a kindalike tornado...and there's tornadic waterspout who can touch land and they are more dangerous than waterspouts

[darksoull33t]

Hey in wut building do u work? I live in montreal :P I haven't ever seen anything like that around here o.o

[FishyCracks]

How the heck did you spot that windheavenX? Good eyesight

[tornadomanatwork]

wow !!! nice ty for sharing

[ArchAngle12]

Awesome! Ive never been in "killing" weather only sun...wind...rain and snow

[NingyoAijin]

aww its a cute little baby tornado, kawaii!

[windheavenX]

LOOK CLOSELY at 1.14 (watch top middle to bottom right a bird loses its flight due the wind!

[windheavenX]

taht frakin cool

[clareyclit]

i would love to see one of these, you guys are so lucky to have seen two by the sounds of it :)

[sebastianahc]

now those guys are some of the most relaxed friggn people ever...having a tea party...there house could have been pulled apart!

[Edgarketo]

IMAO... THAT IS AMAZING!!!

[tristar1215]

wow tornados are my biggest fear and now there in montreal damn man now im scared

[TheNic4]

uh... its not a tornado lol its a water spout, speed of water spouts are really low comparativly to tornados speed

[GameAaron]

water spout is a form of water and a tornado

[Jayhawker109]

it all depends on if it is a tornado over the water or an actual waterspout, waterspouts form differently than tornadoes and are practically harmless but have been known to do harm to smaller boats, but a tornado over the water is just as deadly as a tornado on land

[Grenas02]

dont waterspouts form when the water is warmer than the air temperature????

[TheWidowMaker86]

I live in London, UK.. not seen a tornado/waterspout.. reading the comments though a few people said a water spout is harmless, maybe according to statistics.. but i doubt the potential is any different? i mean its 'harmless' because its not destroying anything! am i right or wrong?
