montreal waterspout

[pardomtlca]

Alot of people are ignorant when it comes to Tornadoes! Just thought the news would atleast know the facts but I guess not.

[HalleJem]

It is a tornado!

It is a tornado that goes over water.

[Gergerberger]

the amazing thing about this waterspout, is how it traveled upstream (they usually travel downstream) and it formed on a river (they again usually form on a body of water with very little to none movement-lake ocean)

you post cool videos i feel like subing

[pokemonboy2010]

[Angelpop45]

woah! how did i not hear bout this!?! i JUST heard bout this now!

[monstermatt2]

wer u in montreal that day

[Angelpop45]

i live around there

[monstermatt2]

ohh suprizing u didnt see it

wow

[Angelpop45]

I know, oh well.. i didnt know tornados could happen around here!!

[monstermatt2]

very rare

[Angelpop45]

well then thats Good :D

[monstermatt2]

i know but i love to see tornados but to bad there none here :(

[kryss119]

It's a water devil!

[Rain1290]

I realized that the reporter said "something you usually see in tropical climates" at the beginning. While tornadoes, or even typical waterspouts, are sometimes seen in tropical climates, that's not often the case as cold air from polar regions (the main driver for initiating severe thunderstorms) commonly doesn't reach as far as low latitude tropical regions, and so development is hindered. Most of the thunderstorms that occur near the equator are due to strictly pure convection.

[catchersmitt0]

Hey, Belanger said "kwebek" not "kaybeck." Must not be real.

[monstermatt2]

huh?????

[Volcanicflamefox]

What the hell are you talking about, catchersmitt0. Just because the way he pronounced Quebec means it's quote "fake"?

[NightwishRaven999]

well said...no jokes ;)

[monstermatt2]

:)  yup

[waddle200x]

to all the people who wrote back: It was a joke on me, it was just a joke that was taken the wrong way. I never meant to offend you, my best friend is from canada and so's some of my family. And to the person who said i was a stupid british: i dont care about that i'm proud to be

[monstermatt2]

well why the fuck did u do it then

no jokes plz

[dorey15]

a waterspout IS A TORNADO!! its just that it forms over a body of water instead of land. If the same cloud would have been over land and the funnel developed, it would have been a weak tornado.

[anThononyian]

would this be considered ef0?

[monstermatt2]

wuts ef0?????

[cafedelmar99]

i would assume that's the category (strength) of the tornado..

[monstermatt2]

i heard it was F2

[Theheadbutt]

its not even a tornado its a funnel thing not even close to a f0 an f0 will blow lots of stuff in 500m radius

[Rain1290]

Waterspouts are considered tornadoes, or mini tornadoes, but just forming over an open body of water. This one shown here in Montreal would actually be considered F0 strength since the speeds associated with this are commonly well over at least 60 km/h, which is enough to do some light damage to homes or to small trees.

Waterspouts associated with severe thunderstorms can obviously be a great deal more potent.

[anThononyian]

you heard it was f2? then i guess it is. thats still pretty strong though.

ef0 is the weakest on the enhanced fujita scale - to measure the impact of tornadoes. im sure you knew this already.

[Inoka01]

they calculate the tornado's strength by the damage it does, right? So it should be F0, because it didn't do any damage.

[Rain1290]

That's right, but F0 strength does damage to some degree. For the most part, compared to its bigger brothers higher on the scale, F0 tornadoes typically do very light damage to homes and perhaps even bend over small trees and toss around small bits debris.

Stronger tornadoes occurring in remote areas may have the strength equivalent to that higher on the scale, but since they are remote, they may not have caused damage to any homes, so they would consequently be graded lower.

stupid canadians, a "Funnel Cloud" over water is a spout, gees

[9Unknown9]

She's just announcing news, doesn't mean she has to know every term , you stupid english

In the newspapers, people wrote water spout.

[9Unknown9]

And can't you see the title of the news ?

" WATER SPOUT "

[cafedelmar99]

why don't you go back to your driv3r world...and stay there

[StarRaper]

Man it seems as though your the stupid one. Lets make this scenario, thunderstorm + funnel cloud makes a possible tornado. Now lets say this funnel cloud drops on water because clouds move and there are many bodies of water, voila, a tornado on water. A waterspout does not form from a well developed thunderstorm. They are not the same thing.

[Rain1290]

"A waterspout does not form from a well developed thunderstorm. They are not the same thing."

That's partially correct to say, but a typical tornado descending from a severe/ well developed thunderstorm that manages to move over a body of water with its parent storm could also be deemed a waterspout in doing so.

In most cases, most waterspouts generally develop in the absence of strong storms - in fact they can be spawned from simple congestus clouds under the right conditions.

stupid british, the bright yellow thing in the sky is the sun, gees

[PammieChan]

You're a dumbass, Pause at 12 sec. It's written "WATER SPOUT". Not "Funnel Cloud".

[mikimbiki]

I missed it I was around thre at noon

[lolking4]

oh shit!!!!!tornade a montréal!

[tamistamistamis]

Ahh... j'aurais aimé voir ça !

Je trippe sur c'est genre de phénomène là et en plus, à ma job j'ai un accès sur le toit de l'immeuble de 20 étages sur Sherbrooke...

Prochaine destination : TEXAS !

[phileeee987654321]

i saw this from my house!! it was insane!

[mwjmccarthy]

I ALWAYS miss cool weather phenomenon in MTL. I was in Nova Scotia for the Ice Storm, and now THIS! And I LOVE the weather. J'adore Meteo Media aussi! C'est tousjours meilleursque'the weather network' en Anglais!

[petitwallaby]

J'aurais tellement voulu la voir. Je travaille chez Météomédia, en plus. On voit mon bureau en arrière-plan pendant l'interview de Martin Bélanger.

Allo maman, allo papa! Hihihihi!

[laoluckz]

Omg I see That When i was in the car of my Mom Scary

[sketerone]

magnifique!

[franatieu]

trop beau jaurais aimer la voir pis la filmer

[crawbvmk]

je lai filmer avec mes chums :D ecris
