Big Valley Jamboree 2009 Chaos and Panic after Winds and Storm in Camrose

[N3RDILICIOUS]

Very Scary...

[GirlyFirefighter123]

BubbleCake, YES there was a Tornado. I'm from BC and never saw a storm like that in my life. I was driving about .5 a kilometre infront of that storm and saw one touchdown in the field beside me at 5:46pm

[BubbleCake44]

THERE WAS NO TORNADO!

it was only heavy winds!

SOOOO EVERY ONE STOP SAYING THERE WAS A TORNADO~

[Davemeister22]

I watched the storm from Edmonton and it wasn't nearly as intense there, but you could see EXTREMELY DARK clouds out to the west and then tracking off to the southeast at an incredible 100 km/h! The high winds lashed the trees near my place in west Edmonton! This was at 5 pm, well before the storm hit around 6 pm in Camrose, so I wish that the warning got out to concert goers in time! The storms were on radar hours before, jetting towards Camrose. My sympathy to the lady who didn't survive.

jackass.. have a sense of sorrow for these people will ya? jees.

[attessaa]

This was scary stuff . i was in it too .

I was actually working . It was crazy .

[pspboy7]

weather is unpredictable you know, nobody could have seen this coming even with the most advanced weather equipment. accidents happen, otherwise people would not die from tonadoes, hurricanes, and lightning and floods, think about it.

[msmickey1986]

coming from someone that was there... there really nothing anyone could of done. If you would of took time to look into it better you would of known that the RCMP weather detection (which the technology would be hell of a more advanced then the weather network) did not know it was gonna hit untill 5:55....there was 130 km winds at 5:57 that came from every direction... do you honestly think 2 mins is enough time to warn thousands of ppl over 1 massive main ground site and camping area??

dude i live and camrose and a freaking lightening bolt hit right beside my house!!!!!!!!!

[iriekate]

1 died and 75 were injured. it's amazing that some of you are laughing.

[Puckgirl35]

There are a few videos on here of the stage collapse

[DueckT0]

I haven't heard of any youtube videos of the actual collapse, but they have a tower that records and live streams everything to the jumbo trons, so they will use that for the investigation.

[jedinaksus]

the actual collapse footage is on the channel CISNMike it's like a bomb going off

[CYLONEJACK]

These storms are horrible. For the past two weeks it has been insane wind/dry lightning storms every night! The lightning is starting so many fires the sky is really hazy during the day with smoke.

[signwearer]

Weird things going on...

[trav052]

i was there haha

[sheepluver316]

Did you get any videos of the stage collapse? I'm sure it could be helpful to the officials who are trying to find out exactly what happened...

[chantal5755]

No I did not. From my view the stage was to the left. About 5 minutes after this video we heard people starting to talk about the stage had collapsed and people were trapped underneath it
