View all 6 videos "1 of 6" through "6 of 6" to see this tornado from beginning to the end, when it went back up in the sky. At the time, I was worried my nearly full flash card would not hold 5 minutes of video, so I filmed in short segments.

[milf1305]

this is clearly NOT a tornado. This is what we call a FUNNEL cloud which has potential to turn in to a tornado. It never actually touched down.

@milf1305 Hi there .. yes, it's true, in this video, the tornado has ascended & is now a funnel cloud .. click on "video 2 of 6" taken a few minutes earlier to see it touching down. I was afraid of running out of space on my camera flash card right in the middle of filming, so I filmed the tornado in small consecutive segments. Check out other links in the "show more" narrative & you'll see the TV coverage of the tornado.

Thanks, in some of the 6 videos, I was driving, trying to keep my eyes on the gravel road, & had the zoom setting on the camera, so it was difficult to obtain really totally steady shots......well, & the adrenaline was flowing so strongly, it was difficult to keep my hands from shaking, LOL.

I still can't believe we got a tornado in SW Ontario.
