Extreme F1 Tornado Speed Winds inside a Thunderstorm, Edmonton AB, July 18/09 By David Cure-Hryciuk

These extreme straight line wind gusts that were F1 tornadic (Up to 134 km/h, 83 mph) in strength occurred inside a severe supercell thunderstorm in Edmonton, AB. I captured this video mere seconds before my neighbour's trees came crashing to the ground! These winds were accompanied by clouds that were dark, lowering and a very strange reddish black! It was a pretty frightening storm!

It takes time to get good at a navigational sense through years of map reading, hiking and back road driving. You need navigational skills badly while storm chasing or a tornado/massive hail will annihilate you in a hurry!

Yeah, this storm kind of felt like the end of the world, considering that I thought a tornado was coming! A horror show called Fear Itself (I think it's called) was filmed in Edmonton, Canada.

Crazy! Environment Canada now states that a tower just east of Edmonton recorded a wind gust of 134 km, just before it was toppled by the wind!! That's F1, not F0 tornado force and many parts of the city were struck by straight line winds that were just as damaging as small twisters! The skies were so black and red around 10-11 pm on July 18/09, that I thought that an actual tornado might touch down!

Lol, I actually look back at this and laugh at how hysterical I was in this video!! Mind you, at the time, the trees had snapped about 2 seconds before I took the video and the clouds were so dark with such strong wind that I though a tornado was potentially on the way! Fortunately, a twister didn't actually happen, but as I stated before, straight line wind gusts in various parts of Edmonton and the surrounding areas reached F0 tornado strength (over 100 km/h!!).

I remember this storm! When it started raining it looked like a category 1 hurricane!

The sky would be perfect for a doomsday type movie.Our clouds are mainly boring shades of grey.

Weren't a couple zombie movies made up there?

Oh just wait till I upload mine!

We were freaking out! It got so close to a tornado on the North/East that I was sure it was going to spawn out of this thing!
