July 8 – Cottonwood road storm damage + video of Sundre tornadoes
A few minutes after the last photo of the last post was taken, a tornado was reported west of Innisfail. It turned out to be a busy night clearing downed trees for the cleanup crews, something chewed a path north along RR21 and across Cottonwood road. Whatever it was it had enough oomph left to some damage 3 miles further along the same line, flipping bins and snapping trees.
And a video from last night, bah what a place to put a tree!
Apologies in advance the shake in the last clip, the RFD was really blazing.
Wow! I am so glad that no one was injured. I feel just horrible for the family on that farm.

i echo your words….”most beautiful thing i’ve ever seen”… and in the end no one was hurt. Great work P. Boomer!!
July 9th, 2011 at 12:11 amAbsolutely remarkable video! Top notch as per usual. The damage at Innisfail is almost as shocking as the callous disregard for stop signs in the Sundre area.

Thanks Anthony, Jaunque
There certainly was some “special” driving going on haha
