A security camera in Saanich appears to have captured the moment a tornado ripped through a residential neighbourhood.
Posted to the neighbour app Ring.com, the video shows trees blowing as the wind picks up before a twister appears in the distance, lifting a trampoline from a neighbour’s yard and dropping it a few doors down. The tornado then appears to dissipate. The video is time-stamped May 21 at 12:10 p.m.
On Twitter, Environment Canada said the footage appears to show a “weak, short-lived EF0 tornado.”
“The unsettled conditions under which this tornado and cells of heavy showers occurred will diminish late this afternoon,” the weather service wrote in the social media post.
