I was up in Red Deer last night (at Westerner Park). Saw this looking to the north:

Both photos by me.

^^^ Pretty cool shots. I have lived in Alberta my entire life and I have never seen one first-hand.

Yes it did. It looks like the pictures RWin posted, and most of the other pictures I've seen, are of the funnel cloud. Technically, it doesn't become a tornado until it touches down.
