A tornado northeast of Edmonton Wednesday afternoon damaged a number of cottages in a lake community.
The twister ripped through Hanmore Lake and damaged eight cottages, according to a St. Albert man who owns one of the properties.
Tom Shipka told CTV News Edmonton he got a call from a neighbour after the tornado, so he made the approximately one-and-a-half hour drive northeast to assess the damage.
Shipka said the tornado made a mess, demolished cabins and knocked down trees everywhere.
"There was trees up against the cabins and debris scattered," Shipka said. "Some of the stuff that I saw, you couldn't recognize what it was."
Environment Canada said this tornado may have been a different one than the twister that touched down near Waskataneau.
