[cocosuesueroxz]

Sigh I remember that night so well my sister got her G1 on that day and that day was kinda weird like i could feel it was kinda hot and cold at the same time btw I was in newmarket when this all happened

[wintersabbath21]

HAHA!! there's an idea, lets videotape a nearby tornado from the "safety and security" provided by a wall of pane glass windows

[soonerk5]

Lucky that was moving directly away from them or they would have been dead meat.

[CpZr100]

This happened on my birthday... I was really scared

[CriticKid]

send it to city pulse! city pulse!

[ScrewSDK]

@CriticKid Wow, She wasnt saying City Pulse.. She Said CITY HALL! ....Hall, not Pulse!

[wameed98]

@ScrewSDK lol nvm

[bibbyandal]

this might sound like a silly question? but when there is a tornado, is there some place safe ou can go? or do you just hope that it dosent hit you?

[bibbyandal]

[canital17]

[archatmosphere11]

It's funny how a lot of people think Canada isn't prone to tornadoes

[audib6turbo]

i remember this day, i was at vaughan mills mall when it happened. Does anyone know what category tornado this is EF1? EF2?

[itsalleternal]

@audib6turbo This one was an EF2.

[MsJustinBieberFan121]

@borat12eron well excuse me buddy, I'm Canadian FYI, and I was there when it happened. so don't be insulting us.

[beaverfeaver12]

[noobtube3]

[qazedc3]

I thought my cousins AND friends were going to die.. But they didn't :D

[Nagowteena]

tornadoes scar me to death! I've never seen one (I live in el paso, so not very likely to get a tornado) and I sure as hell hope that I'll ever see one in real life, I would have a heart attack.

[mohammad0988]

@Nagowteena how is it fake dude it was on CBC fucktard,and how can u tell if it's fake ??

[Nagowteena]

@mohammad0988 next time you reply to someone, make sure it's to the right person. I never once said it was fake.

[divdawgd]

I fucking love Italian Vaughan :). CALL CITY PULSE <3

[shakysyxx]

canada use to be preety much immune to tornados...now look...every summer we get at least one...i cant wait for this summer

[LoganMeistro]

@shakysyxx I don't know where you get your info, but Ontario alone usually gets around 11 tornadoes during tornado season, this year so far there have been 9, and the main season for tornadoes has not happened yet, usually around august 1st through the 20th

[tamodalekoodmora]

[jwvander123]

I was in Timmins at the time and living in Barrie, ON i was visiting family and heard about this tradagy

[XxSkittledropXx]

I was at Canada's wonderland when this happend, I was with my sister and cousin. It started just pouring really hard, and so we left the park. The power was off and so was the street lights, and poles were going back and fourth. We didn't realise we were in a tornado until we put on the radio and said that a Tornado hit Vaughn Ontario

That was the first time i was in a tornado, it was exciting and scary at the same time.

[caity451]

@XxSkittledropXx i was at canadas wonderland to that day with my brother i was freaking on the bus ride back to the subway station cause there was a tornadoe behind us

[USMCjunior117]

Luckyly I live in Brampton :P

[Mikeferrari69]

666eatmypanties

I will eat your panties 666eatmypanties

[666EatMyPanties]

i remember that storm,.. was real crazy.... i was in toronto... i know woodbridge got it bad

[PizziniPaolo]

I was in Toronto in that period,but if i remember well that day i was at my uncle's house in North york.But anyway,i have lots relatives also in Vaughan and especially near Richmond hill and woodbridge.After a couple of days i went with one of my cousins to visit the destroyed houses in Woodbridge,it was very dramatic,and aren't know why this happened,because Toronto in an unusual place for Tornado.

[diablecita]

No offense, but as I see, canadians don't quite know how to handle tornadoes.

[tyleriswere]

OMFG i was at my friends house there was a huge storm i never knew there would be a tornado in toronto

[gloomyoutlook]

tell me more about this sandwich

[dmaiato]

i was stuck in the car in traffic my daughter was born 5 days before the sky was green the car was shaking i was terrified and my daughter slept through the whole thing and the year before i went through the downsview sunrise propane explosion

[StevenBorgiani]

i was in here i was on rutherford road and almost got hit by tha tornado i swear to god

[NickDamages]

Where was this vid taken? That plaza looks familiar...

[tci67]

Yeah, i was in scarborough when this happened, after the tornado i heard, the sky in our area turned orange for some reason...

[rwac07]

Ladies n gentlemen do not step outside if there is a fucking tornado

[trueblood2345]

oh my god get to sheter!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MegaHolyfuck]

@trueblood2345

i hope people died in this :)

[ComputerKing240]

wtf are u talking about u dumass bitch!!! U ACTUALLY HOPE PPL DIED BIGGEST RETARD IVE EVER SEEN ON INTERNET AND IF I find u in real life I swear to god I will knock u out man ure so darn stupid

[vancouvercanucks27]

it was very humid that day. I remember eating chips at the beach when we heard thunder..... thankfully it was the day we were leaving the camping trip.

[SugarSweetStar24]

this day reminds me of summer so much, i remember it was really hot that day... and then the tornado came ... it was quite the adventure!!

[TheDragonboy95]

just before the vid ended, I saw flashes inside the tornado, was it lightning or power lines...spooky...veeery spooky!!

[rodan01]

So EVERYONE in the WORLD is supposed to know where VAUGHAN is, just because YOU do? Rather PRESUMPTIOUS.

[mileydemiluv]

holy shit if i were u i wouldve fuckin run 4 my LIFE!

[295Elisa]

wow...this is a great footage restin peace for the one/s that died :)

[kzalldaz]

I don't know if Toronto has tornado sirens, but NOW IS THE TIME TO FUCKIN SET THEM UP! As the summers go on, our weather seems to be rubbin' off of Texas Tornado Alley. Our government isn't doing shit about the warning systems. Sure our tornadoes are brief and non-texas like, but all that sucker needed to do was to move more south to wipe out the city.

[markpasky08]

they are at akita RIGHT near where it touched down

[divdawgd]

i fucking loved this day, reminds me of summer memoriesss

[madamangela]

i dont think anywhere in york region let alon onatrio has tornadeo sirens lol

[Clooud1232]

Linda Jackson i don't think were in Vaughan any more....

[pfizerbob2000]

LOL SAM&SAM

[pfizerbob2000]

Why were there no sirens going off????

[sxdutt]

It's about time Ontario gets tornado sirens....

[kzalldaz]

@sxdutt

Toronto seems to think that our tornadoes are just playing around. They are brief, weak, blah blah. Give that sucker another 10-20 minutes to move south and then see who's laughing once it hits the city buildings.

[TheSeanMcLean]

I wasn't actually there at the time but I live near there, and I was on a little vacation, like by lake superior while that was happening, we heard it on the radio...

And when we were driving home, we saw the carnage... like a whole forest was knocked down, we also saw a trailer ripped in half... We got back to our house and realized our gazibo and table were gone... we found them later in our forest.... lol It was very nice up at Sauble beach, no rain at all...

[dawnaprilmoon]

eeshh

[JaiSmi88]

I have lived in Texas my entire life and never actually experienced a tornado, though we have had many close instances. My friends and I took a road trip and drove up to the Toronto area to drop off a friend on August 20th. We were at the top of the CN tower when someone told us that a tornado was passing through a nearby area. My first reaction was "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FREAKIN KIDDING ME!!!" :X

[l30779]

it's not fake! i wasn't there to see it but, i live an hour away from where it happened and i was outside and there was a really big storm! there was a flash of lightning and a really loud thunderclap, just when then thunderclap was ending it started pouring rain heavily, just like that! and my two cousins were there when it was happening, so they know that it really happened! just glad they were safe! :)

[neoboy100]

When I heard it was at Vaughn I'm like....Wtf Wonderland is there...ohh well Wonderland turns to Deadlyland!

[divdawgd]

i live near wonderland and vaughan mills i saw one that didnt touch down from my backyard and i was like " LETS GET THE FUCK INTO THE CANTINAA(cellar)

[fannysmack]

@divdawgd gee, I wonder if you are Italian. Lol.

[divdawgd]

lmaoo :)

[monica74431]

because we dont see things like that everyday and to witness something that nature can create like is amazing ..... that is way it was AWESOME and for a earth and atmospheric science major that was pretty AWESOME :D

[009trewq]

КАКАЯ СКУДНАЯ И УБОГАЯ РЕЧЬ

[kutra100]

chupkaro bastardon

[TheSamAndSean]

Lol, poor tornado got electrocuted D:

[ALuimes]

Maybe the GTA (which doesn't mean much BTW), but certainly not Ontario. Tornadoes happen here and always have. It has nothing to do with "global warming".

[RayAir1]

Your mom lives down there.

[vmml97]

Holy crap!

lol "Call CityPulse! Citypulse! Call CityPulse!" lol and "Ho-ly-CRAP!!"

Yeah i remember that. I'm down here in Whitby and I was sitting in my basement, and when I heard about the tornado in Vaughan and I was like "NOT WONDERLAND!" Then I turned on the TV at like 3 am and there was footage on local channels of this, and I was like "HOLY CRAP I WAS JUST THERE! AND WONDERLAND" lol that was a weird night!

[SugarSweetStar24]

vaughan is in ontario !!!

geez... people... how dumb can you get

(in response to ''where is vaughan?'')

lmfao call citypulse call citypulse!!! :P

[superfootcream]

i think i remember this....

well i dont remember any tornado but i remember one evening in the summer the wind was so bad i thought the door was gonna blow off! the next day i found out that a TORNADO hit here and then it all made sense...

i wasnt in Vaughan at the time...feel sry for the ppl who had to deal with the tornado!!

lol 0:19 "send it to CityPulse!!"

[Goaliegirl2431]

I was at my friends cottage for one week from august 17th to the 24th or 23rd.... It hit the lake we were staying at.... 4 cottages got ripped apart, there were tree's EVERYWHERE in the water and on the hills, and so me and my friend the day after (cause it happend sometime from 5-10 pm) went out on a boat togo check it out and i got some WICKED pictures with my camera, il make a slideshow of the damage

[xenoxai]

After the Tornadoes and storms, the sky was red as hell in the Scarborough area. It was a devastating day...

1 boy died because of this tornado... very unfortunate..

[Stringprodigy]

@xenoxai the tornado that killed the little boy was in Durham, not Vaughan.

[ghykid]

@xenoxai i know and i live in ajax and f1 tornado hit my camp anyways i hated it and i knoe the sky was creepy after the storm

[AlexRampaul]

@xenoxai It was in Durham where the boy was killed by that tornado.

[CusterFlux]

Too bad the annoying bitch heard in this video didn't get sucked away sigh one can dream.

[ckkasjz]

i was there at a camp an hour away and we it was safe to go back we wacthed this video the guy took. we had to stay in the pool house because it was the only place that was made out of bricks

[chickypie2131]

its vaughn canada i was there on vacation

[XXTHE12THMANXX]

Wait is this Vaughan Washington?

[4shizzelmibrick]

i think vaughn is in canada

[MitchBurke755]

LOL "Call CityPulse! Call CityPulse!"

[BiOhAzArDoUs10001]

LOL that was my birthday XD but i dont live there so......haha

[TheStrawberryDiamond]

WooooW.

[jbob127]

This tornado was real! My house is gone because of it! I almost lost my life! I don't have 60% of my stuff! Look it up! 39 Burnhaven Avenue! Type that in on Google! See the Vaughn Citizen Article! Comment back! By the way, for PassionateGoth, idiot!

[HalfAussie]

Canadian accents rock!

[Localdrummerweb]

Jesus... Aah

[CamiOfficial]

i remember this day

i predicted a tornado

it crazy

[Daniel23king]

This Was Real The Power Went Out For 2 Hrs

[MeanGene79]

It was all over the news in Canada. It's not fake.

[torn80s]

If this tornado is fake, the guy who made it should be hired for his great special effects that make it look so real. I'm a storm chaser and I can guarantee you this tornado is real. I know some people say it's fake just to get an argument started, but I know others really believe what they are seeing is fake. This twister is not fake. It really happened. Ask the people who had to put powerlines back up, and the people who cleaned up the debris from the damage this thing caused.

[55098]

Thats nuts I was on vacation in the Muskoka region that night it got really ugly there too

[sean808808]

could that be the Stevie Ray Vaughan tornado??

[csx2295]

I have never heard of a tornado in Toronto i hope they issued the tornado warning in time before it hit we have them all the time in the Tennessee USA we had warning of the F-2 tornado 3 years ago.

[PassionateGoth]

Something about that video seems fake, sorry.

[joonxXxbug]

If you can't specify what you find fake about it, then I think you are just talking smack...sorry.

[PassionateGoth]

I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about that footage just didn't seem right. Well, first thing's first how are folks able to still drive around when something that big has touched down? There seems to be no wind gust at all. Don't you think that torado would have picked up more debri than a rooftop? Last thing, folks are way too calm. People are still walking around and driving about like nothing is going on. Anyway, this is just my opinion.

[joonxXxbug]

Your opinion contradicts fact. Look up the tornado that happened in Vaughan, Ontario last month. It was very real and there was more than one.

[mavsexiboi]

its psychology, this is definitely real, it was all over the news, even wonderland shut down.

the reason why people were driving around is because a tornado is not a regular occurance in vaughn...so they didnt know how to react to be honest. it was also only an f2, not strong enough to destroy that much. To top it off, were used to seeing images of tornados that are black, full of dust and usually from empty fields, so they cloud of tornado was very white, because it was a wet day and not dry.

[SpottedleafCCRVMK]

They didn't know what the heck that big honker was, I mean, we haven't had a tornado here in washington since... the 50's?

And, we'd be still driving around... And, calmness is the best thing to do in a emergency. If you're screaming like AHH!!!! Your blood gets quite pumped up.

[stinger89j]

its not fake, my dad lives ythere and his roof was torn off

[aleks7868]

lmao "Send it to city pulse"

[SMELL147]

that lady that keeps saying OMGOMGOGMOGMG shes so scared but she even fits in "ur taking a video"? lol srry found that funny:P

yeahh thats pretty freaky eh? haa i was so scared when tht happend i wouldnt no what to do if it came to my house lol. probly run to the basement and cry LOL :p

[4shizzelmibrick]

[georgekyriazis1]

[webtastic6419]

Hey did you film this in Akita Sushi or VIa pannini cause i know that plaza like the back of my hand ( theres a wendys and tim hortons to the left )

actually, you didn't knew that because first tornado are rare in canada and because in US they are just talking about their country in the news
