Tornado risk goes beyond the 'Alley'

25. "They follow me" I know that feeling!

I saw the weirdest dark green clouds (in fact, the ONLY time I've seen green clouds) not long (as in a few hours) before the Barrie Tornado hit. I was living in Toronto at the time.

The Pine Lake one as well. I remember seeing some weird clouds outside my window in Edmonton the night of that one; I was on the 3rd floor of an apartment building. It looked like a huge vortex of swirling clouds, a block or two wide. I called up a friend and told them about it. I don't if that truly was the start of it, but that night disaster struck south of me.

I've seen numerous funnel clouds in Alberta, but never a full blown tornado. I'd rather just see them on video! Won't get any on the coast - heck we rarely even get thunder and lightening...
