… gotta love this place!
Tuesday, July 17, 2007 Funnel clouds have been reported near Fort McMurray. The potential for funnel clouds and the development of tornadoes remain for this afternoon. These types of tornadoes form out of weak thunderstorms and are usually not as destructive as when associated with severe thunderstorms. They are difficult to track with Doppler radar and can appear without warning.
They normally move slowly and can last for many minutes. They often appear as a giant column of dust from the ground to the bottom of the thunderstorm. Treat all funnel clouds and tornadoes seriously and avoid when possible. Should one develop nearby, take shelter underground or in a reinforced structure like a bathroom or interior closet. If you are in your vehicle, try to move away from the tornado at right angles.
Please continue to monitor your local media or weather channel for further updates.
