Tornado Damage from Elie Manitoba

These shots of the tornado damage were taken just hours after the tornado hit. The pictures really do not do the tornado site justice. Walking around taking the pictures gave me a "feeling" that the pictures just cannot. Unless you are there you really don't have the "feeling" of devastation.

I'm sorry that all of you had to loose your home I would just give you money but I don't have any.

Those two storm chasers have better equipment than Environment Canada has! That's why! I bet half the meteorologists at EC don't even know what a tornado's signature looks like on doppler radar! Case in point? The fact they rated this tornado as an F5 when I have yet to see a single picture of damage representative of an F5 rating. This was a middle F4 at best. They changed the initial F4 rating to an F5 based on "video evidence", which, as any trained F-scale surveyor can tell you, is a completely inaccurate method. If the Edmonton tornado was not rated an F5 - then rating the Elie tornado as such is just plain laughable.

I live in winnipeg, does anybody know where I can donate funds to the people who lost their homes?

I was watching the news that night and there was absolutely no mention of a tornado until the scrolling warning came across the screen on one channel. How could two storm-chasers from the Southern U.S. have enough warning to drive 24 hours to MB to capture the video, but the so-called "weather specialists" be so in the dark?

This is no longer considered "an Act of God", it's more an "Act of the devil!" We are warned of all these devastations happening in the end of time. God Bless You for sharing these pictures and my thoughts and prayers are with all.

Hello, I'm from Manitoba and visiting the UK but my friends sent this down to me to look at. I thought that Manitoba rarely had Tornadoes! But wow, to me, as that other person said on here, stuff is stuff. I'd hate to lose my cat, my friends and my parents, and some stuff you need, certainly, but...as he said, stuff is stuff. The have to start again, with all their old debts too to pay, and yet, you know, it's not just as simple as saying goodbye to it all. I hope they can find a way to get funding to cover the losses and damages, perhaps selling the property to a company would be the easiest, but honestly, it IS terrible. I can make you cry. Especially if some of your stuff you NEED for your livelihood. You know, I hope that, we all learn from this, not to live in debt, because if the economy crashes, we will all be desperate for 'stuff' and we should be wise and stop taking so many resources and not putting anything back. It's as though, we can't stop it from happened, but sooner or later, to even the balance (or score?) nature is going to start striking back. we've cut down all the tress, polluted all the waters, used up the oil for energy just about, put toxins into everything, drove the animals out of their territories, created stronger viruses from all our medicines, and we are like a big attraction now, so populous, for birdflu etc...really we gotta stop USING this planets resources up so much, stop mass production, and just be like the natives, respecting the earth, and using it how we need, and yet not upsetting the balance of it all. Properties shouldn't have been bought, the land should be for everyone. all we've though of it USE USE USE until it's all depleted. The truth is, we have to see the interconnectivity between things, that, a butterfly flying in another country is actually going to cause a toronado in another part of the world. If you upset nature, you are really causing a chain reaction, and it will entrap us all. We are all helpless before God. WE must learn to share, instead of living on the economic structure. We must be a community, and I think if the people living next to these people have any decency at all, they should donate time, money and council to these people until they get back on their feet again. Because one day devastation may hit them, and they'll need a community to help them too! We have to rebuild the structure and have a system of sharing, rather than buying and selling. WEll, when more devastation hits, and people get ensnared into it as a whole, then what I'm saying will mean something. But until then, I'm sure people are just going to carry on as usual in this terrible world system, and allow for more and more tragedy without lifting a finger to help. I'm as poor as a church mouse, and frankly, the only help I have to offer is good advice. But if I had money at all, I'd stick a sock in my mouth and go lend my pair of hands and money for this, honestly. Love, Deborah

My family and I lived through a devastating tornado in Sask in 1989. I am so sorry for those people that lost their homes and all the things that were precious to them. We as you suffered the loss of personal items but have our friends and loved ones still with us. Times ahead will be so hard but "stuff" is still only "stuff". Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we are so thankful that everyone is whole and healthy. BDMac

Friends of mine were driving through this to Regina, thankfully no one was hurt/injured as they traveled I am even more thankful now, seeing these pictures. The devastation, not just of property, but of the people who lost so much, is overwhelming. Thankyou for your comments and photos.
