@My Pronoun is WTF Not common in the slightest. Coquitlam had that minor tornado in 1988 and it was in the Spring. Although rare at any time, when they do happen it is in the Spring. I have lived here my whole life - since the 70's - haven't seen this ever!
When I was a kid a massive waterspout formed in White Rock bay, caused massive flooding and destroyed most of west beach storefronts. I also thought coastal BC didn't see this type of weather until then! Don't know the exact time frame but I think it was early 2000's
Yea exactly...I was always an advocate of how calm the whole scene out there is after growing up there back in the 70's and 80's now living in Ontario. Regardless I've never would have said this was a thing there!
Most of our Lower Mainland tornadic events are cold-core funnels (not created by supercells)...this one was a supercell thunderstorm/tornado - unusual for the Lower Mainland. You can see the whole cloud mass actually rotating.
What the heck, that's spooky. When was the last time, if ever, we got tornado warnings here? I've lived here for a decade and never seen something like this before.
Not bad, never realized that Waterspouts could form over the Straits of Georgia. It would have been better, if you had "zoomed in," but I guess you can't have everything. Maybe someone else had a "better seat".
There was a partial funnel cloud over water in Richmond area 1 or 2 summers ago. This is a beginning, not an outlier event. We need better warning systems. We need to get smarter about our vulnerabilities here in BC.
Well personally I'd take a tornado 100 times over the big earthquake that's forecasted for the Pacific North West. But no disasters would be much better!
A rare phenomenon indeed. But not the first time such an event has happened for BC. Doing some digging. I've come across three events that were notable in the province. In 1926 a tornado struck the Lac La Hache area, destroying barns and downing trees. In 1955 a tornado passed over the south side of Nanaimo causing damage. Lastly in 1966, another was reported near Ucluete that caused significant damage
Lived here my entire life and the only ever tornado warning I heard from "water spots" in White Rock. Nothing like this!! Be safe everyone 💖🙏 PS: Congrats on an amazing video Kevin! 🏆 Thanks for sharing it 🤝
@@kevinadams3719 Adorable! If you ever hire him out to calm nerves I'm interested. 😀 Thanks for filming, I'm just on Blanca and can't quite see out to the ocean but oh, that hail was something!
I was looking at some radar imagery posted online and it seems that this tornadic waterspout appears to have been the result of a supercell storm. The radar presentation, mesocyclone, and occurrence of hail all seem suggestive of a supercell.
Vancouver BC is one of the Nicest places on Earth 🌎 Ranked Top 3 and 5 in the World last few years I miss it..Currently stuck in California It's not what it used to be
I also attest to your statement! I miss my younger years growing up there in the living years when my parents were alive and I a youngster living the life there in the 70's and 80's...
I had a dream a number of years ago that there were multiple tornados hitting downtown all at once and my dad and I were trying to escape the city. I'm not liking the current weather trends.
52 years in Vancouver this is the 1st, insane. Should of had some kind of phone alert. I remember my step dad telling me we had a Typhoon 1962. I remember a couple earthquakes.
Interestingly enough, I was in Capilano when the spout was spotted and got a tornado alert for Capilano with the weather app that I use. The tornado that hit the UBC golf course was 10 minutes from where I live in Dunbar and none of my roommates had any idea that it had happened!
I remember the typhoon. Was just a little tyke living in North Surrey and perhaps power went out or something because I remember driving somewhere with my Mom and wind was blowing the trees like crazy. I think we were heading to my grandparents in Vancouver.
Yeah it weakened slightly, but passed right through us and got fairly crazy. My phone ran of of juice but we filmed some more in my wife's phone, will upload later.
Hi Kevin, hope you are well. This video is extraordinary, I'm currently working on a BBC Earth series about dangerous weather. One of the stories we are featuring in the series is this tornado. It would be great to have your permission to use it in the program. Do you have an email address I could contact you on? Thanks so much - Will
@@MrPapasvhilly People also ask Has there ever been a tornado in Victoria BC? April 13 - a small tornado struck Victoria, British Columbia from the north. No damage was reported. i can send you the wiki link if youd like to learn more about victorias history I dont mind schooling people :)
Just documenting a fairly rare event. A lot of shipping containers and ferries pass through this stretch of water and it took down multiple large trees in UBC.
@My Pronoun is WTF Yes waterspouts are definitely common here but this type of Waterspout (Tornadic} isnt as common but ive done some digging over the years and seen about 2 other videos of tornadic water spouts caught on camera in Georgia straight and Howe Sound. This came from a super cell thunder storm which are rare because the waters in our region are cold but the currents are different every year and people need to understand this has nothing to do with global warming as tornadoes are possible in any part of planet if conditions are right

This is actually the very first account Ive heard Vancouver if not BC having a phenomena like this

@My Pronoun is WTF yes a waterspout on the ocean but turned into a tornado when it hit land.

No way Kindred??????
not necessarily, BC has technically had 6 tornadoes this year - this one, and 5 waterspouts over the span of two days in the summer.
When it isn't moving left or right, it is coming directly at you!
Haha yeah it was. The energy from it passed though and it was fairly crazy for a couple of mins. Knocked down a bunch of trees in UBC.
32 years on this earth, and my whole life spent in the lower mainland or victoria
This is a first for me. Wild!
I've seen mini ones when I was younger but nothing like this
Yea exactly...I was always an advocate of how calm the whole scene out there is after growing up there back in the 70's and 80's now living in Ontario. Regardless I've never would have said this was a thing there!
Just casually getting tornado watch warnings in Vancouver is TERRIFYING
the emergency public warning and the government did not take this seriously enough, and they won't until people die, this could have killed some one.
the tornado made landfall in UBC uprooting large trees, this could have killed some one

Crazy right, never seen anything like this before here!
Climate change…
@My Pronoun is WTF except not that large and yes it is climate change.
@My Pronoun is WTF and it wasn’t just a water spout. It was a tornado 🌪!

@@dianef.7072 a waterspout is a tornado over the water vs over land.

If you scrub the video at higher speed you can truly see the sky rotating. Crazy.
Amazing video!
Wow this is great footage. Thank you for sharing. Tornadoes and waterspout can be very terrifying. Been in through 3 tornadoes and 1 waterspout.

i remember that....that was in February or Jan? i believe that was a cold air funnel cloud
Fret not...women love vulnerable men. You are in the best place on earth being as vulnerable as you are. Please, please do stay safe.
Wow, this is so cool. Thank you for uploading it for all to see. 🙂
THAT was AWESOME!
Thanks so much. 👍🏼
So crazy. You caught the best footage I’ve seen of it as well. So happy there weren’t a bunch of people out on boats that day!
Aw man I live here because we DON’T have tornadoes. I’ve seen one in Seattle but this is too close 🙈
Well personally I'd take a tornado 100 times over the big earthquake that's forecasted for the Pacific North West. But no disasters would be much better!

Thanks for the video, we are at Hampton place and was wondering what went ripping by
Been in Van for close to 60 years. First time to see this.
Thanks for sharing!
I like the Scottish accents! Waterspouts are unusual here but have occurred off and off.
Crazy definitely weird weather last few years here in Vancouver
Lived here my entire life and the only ever tornado warning I heard from "water spots" in White Rock. Nothing like this!!
Be safe everyone 💖🙏
PS: Congrats on an amazing video Kevin! 🏆 Thanks for sharing it 🤝
It almost looked like a boat at the bottom right under the funnel at about the 4.00 min mark??? Thanks for sharing.
I loved the appearance of your concerned lil one ❤️
Thank you, he was very cute, making sure the cats didnt get out on the balcony and his dad didnt get blown away :)

Thanks for this info Brandon, I wonder if this will start to become more common now.
Totally amazing! What an extensive wall cloud too. Was that hail falling briefly?
Yeah its heavy hail, you can see the soccer pitch covered later in the video.
Biggest water spout i've ever seen!😳 Look at that rotation! Expect to find fish on land!
My kids too! Exciting!
Ok now that's the rarest thing I've ever saw out West!

Hey i want to ask some questions related to ubc Canada can you plzz help.....🙏🙏
As if November rain and total darkness isn’t enough, a little tornado to mix things up!
Wow crazy!!!
52 years in Vancouver this is the 1st, insane. Should of had some kind of phone alert. I remember my step dad telling me we had a Typhoon 1962. I remember a couple earthquakes.
Thanks for the comment Anthony. It really caught us by surprise, I seen it forming but never imagined it would develop to be so large.

A friend by UBC did get an alert on her phone 🤔🌪
Hi there! Did you take this video? If so can we share across our Glacier Media publications with video credit to you? Thanks in advance.
Sure, go for it
@@kevinadams3719 Thank you! :)
Great video!! Wow! What happened after this?
Yeah it weakened slightly, but passed right through us and got fairly crazy. My phone ran of of juice but we filmed some more in my wife's phone, will upload later.
Roger that. Did it come ashore and cause damage? I’m from Washington state and am a weather nerd so this is fascinating.
@@BenjaminJurkovich23 It got crazy windy with very strong gusts but no damage that I am aware of. So rare for here

Hello! I’m a member of the UBC storm club. May I have permission to post this video on our club’s social media?
Sure thing
Is this Vancouver, WASHINGTON or Vancouver, BC?
Vancouver, BC
Largest waterspout ever seen EF3 size!
I’m in Vancouver but different place and this is scary
How frequent is thunderstorm in Vancouver
Where on the campus is this?
The Georgia Point building on Ross Drive
@@kevinadams3719 I haven’t heard of that but I haven’t been there in years, thanks! Cool video.
Hi Kevin. It's Mike Baker from KING-TV in Seattle. Can we use your video in our newscasts and online with credit? Thanks!
Sure thing Mike, go for it
Kevin, If you ask for 500 bucks they will probably pay. Don't give it away for free. This is high-end video for a rare event.
0:37 Vancouver thunder after Halloween....thunder might happen during spring and summer...but not at fall, it is very rare
I've witnessed one 18years ago
I was clutching my phone the entire time the warning was issued in case of an EAS alert so I didn't miss it.
People just forget the EF0 tornado that ripped through victoria last year :p
That was a non tornadic landspout but it still counts as something!

@My Pronoun is WTF wow in 1988? I was a kid in Vancouver then but I don't remember this, but I do remember the massive one in Edmonton the year before
If a powerful Tornado comes through Vancouver too many Houses going to be under the tall Trees.
🥺 can i join in the UBC now ?
All good, everything still here :D
A Divine intervention.
Good thing it wasn’t on a school day
Yeah good point.
Next well have snownados
Lol .
Keep us posted
I am very glad I am not in university yet, and more glad I didn’t go to UBC
So this means you're staying safe, right?
40 plus degree heat, tornados... This ain't your father's Vancouver.
why that didn't destroy campus and let peof cancel my mt this week lmao
