Huge Manitoba Tornado

Reed Timmer and Dave holder of TornadoVideos.net captured this magnificent yet violent and huge tornado in Manitoba on June 23, 2007. This F-4 tornado touched down 45km west of Winnipeg, in Elie and near Oakville, Manitoba. In its path it destroyed several homes, but luckily no serious injuries were reported. A tornado is a weather formation composed of a rotating column of air touching both a huge cloud at one end and the earth on the other. It forms a funnel-shape, with the tapered side on the earth. Tornadoes happen more frequently in Northern America including Canada. Large ones like in the video can be extremely destructive, but thankfully they can be predicted through weather forecasting.
