Edit: YouTube user "KevinMartinOWS" says he's a professional Meteorologist and Tornado Chaser. He watched this video and pointed out that at 22 seconds into the video, there was either a funnel cloud or in fact a tornado. Check it out! ========================= ================== I shot this video from my front porch. This storm came at the end of a heat wave. The unstable air mass turned severe as a cold front entered the area. The storms were moving at 80kph (50mph) and ripped destruction through the province of Ontario, Canada. Update: 8 Confirmed Tornadoes....Here is Environment Canada's latest statement...
