A cluster of storms moving across the Central Interior led to some excitement in the skies in the Vanderhoof-area yesterday (Sunday).
The community was under a tornado warning for a period of 14 minutes before being downgraded to a severe thunderstorm watch/warning.
Environment Canada Meteorologist, Matt Loney told Vista Radio the skies opened up making the afternoon drive a little more difficult.
“That produced what looked to be a funnel cloud caught on Facebook from a photograph but there didn’t appear to be any damaged produced from that. But there did seem to be quite a bit of marble-sized hail produced by that storm as well.”
“Dense areas of moisture and hail along with heavy rainfall can cause issues of travel and that is why we put out the warnings so that the public was aware.”
The storm was moving at a moderate pace of about 20 kllometres per hour along the northeast.
