Tornado Touches Down in Montreal!

People in Montreal were given a freaky weather show this week. A rare waterspout formed over the St. Lawrence River after severe thunderstorms pounded the area. 

The first was spotted early afternoon in the St. Lawrence River, near Montreal's south shore.

Environment Canada says a second waterspout formed around the same time about 70 kilometres northeast of Montreal. No injuries or damage were reported in either incident.

Waterspouts are columns of vapour that form between a cloud and the earth. They are considered low-level tornadoes.

Environment Canada says it is extremely unusual for them to be see around the Montreal area.

No Kidding!
