| 2007 Elie, Manitoba F5 Tornado |
 |
June 22, 2007
This is a video of the F5 tornado that hit
Elie, Manitoba on date shown above. From
Wikipedia:
On June 22, 2007, an F5 tornado struck the
town of Elie, Manitoba, 40 kilometres (25
miles) west of Winnipeg. While several houses
were leveled, no one was injured or killed by
the tornado.
The tornado touched down north of the
Trans-Canada Highway around 6:30 pm CDT (2330
UTC) and slowly moved southeast where it
picked up a tractor-trailer before it headed
south and severely damaged the town's flour
mill causing over $1 million in damage. After
hitting the flour mill it headed southeast
towards Elie, where it destroyed four houses,
flipped over cars, and even tossed one
homeowner's Chrysler Fifth Avenue onto their
neighbour's roof. The tornado lingered over
the same area of Elie for approximately four
minutes before it cut sharply to the south
and rapidly dissipated. The tornado traveled
about 6 km (3.7 miles) and was 300 m (330
yds) wide at its widest during its 40 minute
lifespan. The tornado repeatedly struck
essentially the same area of town, destroying
most of the structures and vehicles in the
area.
If the tornado had continued along its
southeast track, it would have hit the main
part of town. At the same time as the Elie
tornado, another tornado was touching down
close to nearby Oakville. Two tornadoes not
far from each other at the same time was a
rare occurrence for the people watching the
news that evening. There were reports of 8
touchdowns in Manitoba during that day. The
people in Elie were prepared and took the
necessary precautions, during this situation.
The following day, Environment Canada sent
out a storm damage survey team to assess the
damage caused by the tornado. On September
18, 2007, the tornado was upgraded to F5 on
the Fujita Scale from the original F4, as
winds were determined to be between 420 km/h
and 515 km/h (261 and 318 mph), based on
video analysis of the tornado and
reassessment of the damage[2]. This was the
first tornado in Canada to be officially
rated as such, making it the strongest
confirmed tornado in Canadian history, and
only the second F5 tornado ever since 1999,
(the other being in Greensburg, Kansas on May
4, 2007). It should be noted that Canada has
not adopted the Enhanced Fujita Scale yet; if
used, the equivalent EF5 rating would have
winds in excess of 200 mph (320 km/h).

| F5 Tornado in Elie, MB Devastates Part of Town & F3 tornado |
 |
Here is a video of Canada's first F5 Tornado
(upgraded from F4) taken from one mile away
that devastated the western part of Elie,
Manitoba on Friday June 22nd, 2007...the
video ends with a second tornado (F3 Rated)
near Oakville. This one was on the ground
the same time as the Elie tornado, but I
didn't catch it until the Elie one lifted and
I was driving towards Elie to see what
happened there...I turned around and tried to
intercept it, but it got rain-wrapped and
fell apart after about 10 minutes.
