An EF0 tornado touched down near Waskatenau at 1:50 p.m. Wednesday, Environment Canada has confirmed.
Multiple videos and photos posted to social media and emailed to CTV News Edmonton show the cloud forming.
"I was watching it and I had my door open to our patio just to make sure I had a clear path to go downstairs if I had to," said Gerri-Lyn Turko. "I've never seen anything like that so close to myself or so close to home. It was incredible."
