A tornado hit Mountain View County in Alberta Saturday.
On Saturday, a one- to two-kilometre-wide tornado swept through the region, RCMP said. Mountain View County includes the Carstairs, Alta., Didsbury and Olds communities.In an update Saturday night, RCMP said one woman was trapped in her basement as her home was destroyed above her. Carstairs Fire Department pulled her from the rubble and she suffered minor injuries. No other people have been reported injured, RCMP said.RCMP said 25 cows and 20 chickens died, and one horse was put down.
"It hit a few buildings, just barely scraped some buildings. I saw a little bit of a little bit of damage, a little bit of debris," he said. "And then as I decided to get a little closer to it right as I did, that is when it really strengthened up and it hit a couple of houses, damaged them pretty significantly.
"The thing that came to my mind is we either have to turn around and drive as fast as we can the other way, or we have to try to outrun this," Arrowsmith said, although she said turning around on the divided highway would have been next to impossible due to barriers.
