Environment Canada has issued a warning for a possible tornado in Vancouver鈥檚 North Shore and Howe Sound.
The warning comes after video posted on social media shows a funnel-shaped cloud along Vancouver鈥檚 coastline.
The national weather agency called the situation 鈥渄angerous and potentially life-threatening鈥� in a bulletin posted Saturday afternoon. 鈥淐onditions are favourable for the development of funnel clouds and possibly brief, weak tornadoes.鈥�
