Hey guys, since you guys live in Manitoba i was just wondering did you guys see any recent tornadoes?? Because here in British Columbia we barely get tornadoes but i flipped the channel on to CTV they were showing a picture that a photographer took in Richmond BC, of a Funnel Forming, the same day when there was thunder and lightning and heavy rain in Surrey BC (my city), anyways the funnel looked as if it was coming down, thankfully it didnt touch the ground =D This is the first time ive ever heard of a Tornado in BC.

although its scary it would be pretty cool to see one in action!

dayumm, but in winnipeg you guys dont get much tornados rite? like it only happens in countrysides? because the one that formed here in Richmond it was no where near the city it was in the countrysides were all the farm were but it was visible from the city.

they don't go through citys cuz off all the houses and such. the winds go around the citys. there was one about 10 kms from my place. there shouldn't be anymore tornadoes this year cuz tornado season is over at the end of this month. I heard that peace Gardens at the border was hit my hail and destoried all the flowers.

theNatural · 06-29-2007, 03:24 PM

is it possible to get sucked up by a tornado? like not a super big one, but i mean one of those manitoba tornados those small skinny ones

frikin_bike! · 06-29-2007, 05:24 PM

LOL elie didn't have a small one. they had a F4 and thats pretty big considering that the rating only goes up to F5. but a small one... well I heard that even the smallest one could pick someone up... I heard of this guy that was thrown about a 100 yard from a small one

theNatural · 06-29-2007, 06:28 PM

lol oh, from what ive heard the most dangerous thing in a tornado is getting hit by the debris and stuff it carries, but i heard that a small one cant suck you up, but it can throw you around and move you sideways, i heard that being spun around a tornado is a myth, i dont quit belive this myth but i did hear that a man was sucked up by a tornado like literally sucked up and picked up off the ground but he didnt fall hard when the tornado threw him back to the ground, he was something like 9 - 10 feet high i think, and he survived with leg and arm injuries and head injuries because of the fall.
