8 July 2004: A narrow, strong F1 (almost F2) tornado with winds of 180 km/h skipped through Grande Prairie, AB, tearing down a store wall, flipping cars, cutting power, bending traffic lights, raising a pickup truck several metres into the air before dropping it onto the sidewalk, tearing roofing and siding from buildings, and downing more than a dozen large trees. City officials declared a state of emergency. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
