Esau Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 They're saying straightline winds, not a tornado apparently, but witnesses say different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paan Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I was driving home from work (I live in the area hit)... it is unbelievalbe the size of the trees that were brought down... it had to be a tornado because there were some areas hit really bad, while others are fine. Luckily my place was ok, but very close to the path. There was even a alot of damage and trees down and my daughter's daycare... thankfully nobody was hurt... I have never had a tornado hit this close. Scary stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Well enviroment Canada says no tornado, but straightline winds instead, which do pretty much the exact same damage and are just as bad apparently.Thats what they say right now anyway, they are going to assess things furthur.

The weather station in Hamilton is located at the airport so how the fuck would they know what the fuck went down on the east mountain. Eye witness accounts say that the tornado touched down at Lawfield Elementary, ripped it to shit and then dissipated. The rest of the damage was caused by high winds of about 70 kph, well below the wind speeds produced by a tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laws Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I watched it come down the street in a matter of seconds it was here and gone just as fast. i love storms but this one made me a tad worried. And it was a cat. 1 tornado . there was hail about the size of h20 bottle caps just before brown wall of foggy haze. (and it wer'nt my eyes being foggy) im near where it happened and id say a swaft about from sherman to ottawa was the main vortex size wise with a few vortex's that were up there but luckily didnt touchdown. (have to touch to be called tornado) The wierd thing is... it happend in NOV. hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
