Tornado hit about 1:50 p.m. local time near Didsbury, Alta.
DIDSBURY, Alta. — Police say a tornado in central Alberta has damaged homes but no injuries have come to light so far.
RCMP said they received reports of a large tornado in the county along Highway 2 at Highway 581, ranging from one to two kilometres wide. “The thing that came to my mind is we either have to turn around and drive as fast as we can the other way, or we have to try to outrun this,” Arrowsmith said, although she explained that turning around on the divided highway would have been next to impossible due to barriers.
She said many people had pulled over to shoot video of the twister. But she kept the pedal down and after some hail hit the car, they knew they were finally in the clear, she said.
