Tornado Warning in Canton, Georgia, 02/18/09

This video was shot at about 4:57 PM on 2/18/09 near Hickory Flat in Canton, Georgia. We were under a tornado warning. We saw strong rotation in the clouds and in this video we saw a flock of geese blown out of formation and nearly out of the sky before the clouds closed in. We had to lock the doors of the shop and bring the customers into the back room for safety. This video was shot looking out the back door of the shop.

I remember that day. I was an exchange student in USA from Russia. My american experience was about to be finished and that exact day I was pretty upset about my trip back home from that beautiful place ( I mean Canton and neighbouthood). So it was one more exciting days of my life, cause tornados never happends in mother Russia.

Great vid. I lived in Hickory Flat when I was a kid. I can remember some terrible storms there. We're right on the banks of tornado alley and usually get several funnels every year. I HATE hearing the sirens. Unfortunately, we'll be going into tornado season again here in a month or two.
