Dean Allan, deputy mayor of Carstairs, located about 13 kilometers (8 miles) south of Didsbury, said the twister passed between the two communities, damaging 12 homes.
“`A couple of them were completely destroyed,” said Allan. “There’s no deaths, just some minor injuries, luckily.”
Some livestock was lost, he said.
Carstairs fire chief Jordan Schaffer said five homes were completely destroyed, including one where rescuers had to extricate a woman from her basement.
“Digging through debris, we were able to get her out without a scratch,” Schaffer said.
Storm chaser Aaron Jayjack posted video online of a tornado near Didsbury crossing a highway, appearing to damage two rural homes on both sides of the roadway.
