A tornado swept through parts of Vancouver on Saturday, November 6, and the videos from the unexpected event are pretty shocking.

According to The Weather Network (TWN), the tornado uprooted trees and caused power outages across the region, and at the time, people were advised to seek shelter immediately.

TWN said that an event like this is "ultra-rare" and that thankfully, there haven't been any injuries reported as of yet.
