Red Deer Storm

Barry's Response - Red Deer is a city of nearly 100,000 in central Alberta, roughly midway between Calgary and Edmonton. Although not extremely common, tornadoes do occur a few times in Alberta, in July.

One hit a crowded campground near Red Deer in 2000 and killed several people. Another passed through Edmonton, the capital, in 1987 and killed 27. Canada's worst hit Regina, one province over in Saskatchewan, just a day or two before July 1929 and killed 28 people.
