[maxdett90]

[aren678]

That happened near my house! We were wondering what the sudden hail storm was all about...then the next day we read the news about this, pretty impressive video though!

[Liquidnitrogin]

Ridge of high pressure and a cold front!!!

[DoubleE4eva]

I live in Calgary.... it was not windy at all that day and I thought that tornadoes cant happen in Calgary due to us surrounded by mountains... mhmmn....

[cobaltice123]

@DoubleE4eva we've had a few tornanoes in calgary before, not often at all by any means, but they still do happen. It's more our lack of humidity due to being in the rain shadow though that reduces the chance of tornadoes hitting the city. I live in the south east, it wasn't windy where I was, but you probably know how weird our weather gets. One area can be stormy while another will have beautiful blue sky.

[ryandd11]

Evil face at 2:20!!

[billykash9]

@ryandd11 LOL YES!!!!

[squemish51]

Haven't seen a tornado around here in ages!

[GoLeafszGo]

Lol wtf? i live in calgary and i didn't see it at all but i was at the stampede at the time

[vladsly]

I live in okotoks. I didn't even have a chance to see it. -.-

[wilosony]

But the question is... Will it blend?

[jozermander]

Fuck that was close to me! I just live over in cougar ridge

[RustaMan420]

That's really crazy. This is so rare to have it all on tape.

[escapetocalifornia]

I was at work in the northwest and forgot to close my sunroof =(

[666DanceParty]

This was about a seven minute drive from me and I didnt have a clue. It's pretty FA as far as tornados are concerned, but this is a first for Cowtown.

[karan6]

I live in Calgary.......I didnt see this wtf????

[BigHeadClan]

I really should stop working nights, I missed my chance to see this >< in person

[LilSuce]

[jaydizzleful]

[elmopimp35]

[deox13]

Excision & Downlink - Existence VIP turn on this song while watching this video THUMBS UP for people to enjoy

[Akab6]

Did it sweep away Harper? lol jk

[Riverboy1986]

Sorry to say but this Tornado was a miscarriage.

[seapeddler]

The electromagnetic flux from the Sun is absorbed by the water crystals. This causes an electromagnetic vortex engine to begin oscillating. Now, we ask if electricity is the only fuel in this engine or are there other things involved ?

Maybe the cloud surfs on the magnetic field, and this is a gyroscopic ride for the cloud? Anyway,having the earth spin rapidly makes the tornado mobile? I don't know. Someone make it clear.

[babykid3jkk]

This was the ninth tornado to hit Calgary in the last 40 years. Pretty cool.

[Zodiak34]

1. Fast Foward the video

2. Put an epic music to it (ex. lord of the rings)

3. Repost it and get 1000x more views

[conman2317]

@Zodiak34 how do you fast forward?

[Zodiak34]

@conman2317 well you first need to download the vid, and then use a software which can do it (probably any)

[lil0romeo]

I was working at the Calgary Stampede when my friend and i saw this! Scary stuff!

[McdonaldSpecial]

slowest.... tornado... ever...

[redneckjohn82]

Very cool video , Id be sending that to the news folks and enviroment Canada , shows the funnnel forming very nicely . Well done

[ToxicAsian]

the tornado was in the south east and thumbs up if you live in Calgary

[mark19gl]

@ToxicAsian south west actualy.

[crackparty]

It did cause damage, but nothing seriously destructive. One person reported their shed was destroyed, and flying debris according to the news.

[rachaeldg4]

Never heard of a tornado is calgary before..

[BUILDYOURMONEYcom]

Wow!

[mountainpete]

Great video.  Thanks for posting this. I've lived in Calgary over 30 years now and I can't recall having ever seen anything like this within the city limits.

[jevequart]

[epic1cupcake]

Great video and nice capture of the whole formation of the tornado!

[staypuft44]

[sebordom]

I was looking at the sky last night, thinking it looked kinda weird - but I couldn't see anything going on!!! What community was this shot from?
