Tornado in West Country near Sundre

Aug 16, 2010 1 Comment by

When my friend Bob Henderson sent me some info about the wild horses the other day, he included some photos of what appears to be a tornado in one of the areas where he monitors the wildies. He says:

Also when I was out there I came a cross a valley where the Sundre Tornado had obviously touched down.  It was on the North James and we had taken you there.  The path of destruction of this tornado was1/2 mile wide by 2 miles long.  There was not a tree left standing and they were twisted in all directions and even big trees were snapped off like twigs.  I have attached a couple of pictures. There were two small herds of wild horses in this vallley and I pray that they and all other creatures made it to safety.

Thanks Bob for the pictures. Bob has lots of nice photos on the Wild Horse Site. He even has some for sale if you want a nice image for a gift or your own wall or site.

    I’ve never heard about tornados in the Sundre area. I’m not surprised that Bob was in the right place at the right time – that is, after it blew through – and got these great shots of what seems to be the aftermath of some of this crazy Alberta weather we’ve been having.
    Cheers,
