When I was living in Edmonton that would have been the Big Tornado and I lived it.
Here at the edge of no where... part of husky refinery blew up a few deaths, other then that not much happens here in this small place.
Thats what I mentioned "Black Friday".
I was only two when it happened though. And apparently I slept quite happily in the basement.
I've seen pictures though, and... I saw the destruction at Pine Lake when the Tornado hit there. The Pine Lake tornado ripped out part of a field of canola from my farm... so... it's frightning stuff.
lol I should know not to post when I'm tired because I missed your post completely. I was 13 when it hit, it was just me and my dad at home, my mom and sister were at work, my other sister was suppose to be saftly in Penhold that day, but the military decided to send all the kids home that day instead of Saturday morning. The bus got a nice view of the tornado coming into the city. I have the newspaper special they released with the pictures shortly after it happened, and I bought the 10 year anniversary book (which my mom still hasn't given back).
I remember how paniced the city would get for years after a terrible storm would start rolling in, and after that time flash thunderstorms happened a lot. the experience did get me interested in tornado's and learning about them just so I could be prepared, and I know when not to freak over something that won't happen into one. all was fine until I moved here... Oh my we get terrible dust/dirt storms that's kind of freaky
