Ottawa tornado (Derecho) - May 21, 2022

incoming storm that carried with it a Derecho.

[@wallyman292]

That low hanging cloud was simply a "scud" cloud formed by rapidly rising warm air being pushed up by the incoming mass of cooler air that makes up the derecho. Pretty cool!

Been in a derecho and a tornado. I'll take the derecho, but it's crazy too. Moves like a dust storm. Very fast

[@imlistening1137]

Although it’s hanging down like a tornado appears in a photo, it’s not rotating. Neither are any f the initial low hanging clouds that resemble wall clouds. Tornados form near the back of a thundercloud, not the leading edges. But the awesome color changes were indicative of some with upper winds! Then that blast of wind was as brutal as some smaller tornadoes, for sure!

[@bobduvar]

"Curtains of rains" as we say in french ... Just amazing !! Terrific too !! Don't mess with the nature !!!

[@trdoffroadguy1684]

All those fast-moving clouds were part of the inflow being sucked into the rotation and that area is called the Rain Free Base. You might expect to see hail at the trailing edge of the Rain Free Base. Next comes the rain collum and straight-line winds being sucked toward the rotation and that is most of the damage I have noticed in videos, straight-line wind damage. Not saying a tornado didn't touch down somewhere but I haven't seen video evidence of tornado damage yet. Living in the Southern United States, we see plenty of these storms and tornados. This was a great video, you captured a cool scene unfolding. I might add that the changing of the color of the sky is due to light refraction through heavy rain and or hail.

[@binary110]

We are more prone to "micro bursts" and not exactly tornados, you're totally correct. I'm pretty sure it was straight line wind damage as well. Thanks for all the info.

[@mekan0001]

This same line of storms did drop a tornado down in uxbridge prior to arriving in ottawa. We are not used to these types of storms here in Ontario.

[@JillyKins]

Its so surreal. We don't get these in the UK, hard to say if that is a good thing or bad, because I personally like storms. Alas, they can cause a lot of o damage and take life too.

[@tallll70]

at least these tall flat apartment buildings are built to withstand these winds

[@Countmax]

This could also be described as a micro burst. Not a tornado, but tornado like winds that can do some serious damage.

[@justjessi5667]

This happened to us in Indianapolis a few years ago. It wasn't as scary as yours... I lost it. it's horrifying

[@andreasperotto3153]

It's not a tornado, it's a "simple" downburst, practically strong straight-line winds coming down from the thunderstorm with heavy rain. They are very typical during summer months here in Northern Italy.

[@scrappycoco3687]

Lol, that‘s not a tornado. Not even close. Just a normal summer storm.

[@irishfergal]

Wow - that was one wild storm. Thanks for sharing!!

[@elithunder]

What a view from up there!! So cool to be able to see the whole thing coming in! Beautiful storm!!

[@birsay123]

That’s one well hung cloud!

[@kimberlycrouch7228]

That was cool to be able to show the calm before, and then how quickly the weather deteriorates. Btw, where you live looks beautiful.

[@shellymaynard9251]

Wow its so Beautiful!

[@lovehandr]

I drove through this storm. My car was shaking and wondered if I was driving through a tornado. There was almost zero visibility. I was in the exact location where a tornado crossed in 2018. Our part of the city had tremendous tree damage. There seemed to be fingers of extra high winds. You could see this in the aftermath, where sections of forest were massively blown down.

[@RobbertsTravelGuides]

i'd suggest getting rid of the Tornado in the video and making it a Bow Echo, bow echos have strong winds and common to move quickly.

Tornado and dericho's are two completely different things. In fact opposites.

[@chulopapi812]

Why? How?

[@samuelstevens248]

@@chulopapi812 tornado is wind the spirals around, dericho is straight line winds produced by a particularly viscous weather front

[@samuelstevens248]

@kitty Tonic yes I know, I was just trying to explain the difference.

[@BillyDoesVids]

I did not spot any rotation on the video. No tornadoes or rotations, it was just tornado like straight line winds.

[@jt1364]

You should really fix the title on this video. A derecho is NOT a tornado. A derecho is straight line destructive wind that is pushed ahead of a thunderstorm. This in no way describes a tornado.

[@TheMichaelsheinker]

Its a most likely tropical storm not a tornado! I am not saying that it is less danger but tornado is a diffrent type of storm

[@sisyphian54]

No rotation at all. Though this was an awesome sight it was in no way a tornado.

[@livingmultiverse5544]

Scary, why are these happening more so often nowadays

[@suzz1776]

Look into the grand solar minimum. Alot of folks try to say it isn't happening out of normalcy bias or not trying to scare people or w.e. but with all the crazy weather happening lately and the way the sun has been acting, I believe we r deff in it. So find a few good videos about it by folks who rnt just trying to debunk it and look into it. It deff explains alot of what is going on.

[@TechieXP]

I wasn't a tornado. But it did try. Fact - tornadoes do happen at the front of a storm. You did see the tornadoes cloud. But it never rotated and it didn't create a funnel. All tornados don't always make it to the ground. Some happen above the storm cloud and funnels can form above and simply never come down. Those clouds that vame low were heavy with water. But as you can hear there was barely any wind. The rain was certain heavy and it is a tornado producing cloud, but sorry to bust your bubble; it didn't happen.

We have stronger winds than this every day.

[@lyradguitar]

Liar!!!

[@binary110]

Winds topped out at 190 km/hr.

[@justylex]

Well, then you must not have an trees or hydro lines left. Here in West Ottawa (Kanata), pretty much every 2nd house on my street lost a large tree, another’s large springfree trampoline ended up in their inground pool, and we were without power for 3 days. Several hydro poles near my home snapped at their base like twigs, and several large metal hydro towers crumbled over like they were made of thin tin. Oh, and a school in Nepean lost its roof. But sure, you have wind like that every day👍🏼

[@leaf2180]

@@binary110 130km/hr, aka 80mph. Winds like that are pretty common in the midwest. Especially the southwest. Trees around there have adapted to the abuse and can take it better than areas in the north and northeast. I live in Ohio and can only imagine the debris from 80mph winds now. We had it in 2012, but plants have grown a lot since then lol. It also did a lot of damage then anyway.
