Twister spotted in central Alberta
A possible tornado was spotted Monday afternoon southeast of Alberta's capital city.
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) are investigating reports that a tornado touched down near Edberg, a small community south of Camrose that is about 125 kilometres southeast of Edmonton.
Erin Staunton, a meteorologist with ECCC, said there have been several reports of a tornado and "it does seem likely that a tornado touched down in the area."

A tornado watch was issued just before 3:30 for a large area stretching from south and east of Edmonton to the Saskatchewan border. The tornado watch was cancelled just after 7 p.m.
Environment Canada, which issued the warning, said conditions "are favourable for the development of funnel clouds and possibly brief, weak tornadoes."

Edberg resident Cheyenne McCrea managed to capture video of a funnel cloud.
"I've lived here for 25 years, and I've never, never seen anything in this area," she told CBC.
"It was a very different kind of out-of-body experience. Actually, it was very unique to watch."
