Tornado warnings are issued when impending or developing storms are likely to produce or produce tornadoes. Tornado watches, meanwhile, are issued when atmospheric conditions are favorable for the development of storms that could produce tornadoes. “In the event of a tornado or if a tornado warning is issued for your area, it is recommended that you take the following actions: Go indoors to a room on a lower floor, away from exterior walls and windows, such as a basement, bathroom, stairwell, or closet.” , Environment Canada said. “Leave RVs, vehicles, tents, trailers and other temporary or self-contained shelter and move to a strong building if you can. As a last resort, lie down in a low spot and protect your head from flying debris.” According to Alberta Emergency Alerts, a rotating strong storm possibly producing a tornado was located 15 kilometers south of Cochrane, moving east at 20 km/h, at approximately 4:30 p.m. Communities along the trail include: Bearspaw; Environment Canada has issued tornado watches for the following areas:
