The “indescribable sound” heard before a resident saw a nearby roof blown off when a well developed cold front hit Cape Town four days ago was caused by a wind phenomenon known as an EF-1 landspout.
South Africa had a tumultuous weather week with everything from a landspout in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), to snow in the Eastern Cape, and flooding in the Northern Cape.
A tornado was spotted east of Red Deer near Stettler in central Alberta Wednesday afternoon, picking up dirt from farmers fields and becoming visible from several kilometres away.
