Thunder rolled across parts of the province last night, with more extreme weather affecting parts of southwestern Manitoba.
Severe thunderstorm warnings were in effect for several communities located in that region, including Ste. Rose, McCreary, Alonsa, Gladstone, Minnedosa and even just over the Saskatchewan border into Yorkton.
There were reports of funnel clouds and baseball-sized hail, and Evinronment Canada confirmed that a tornado touched down in Waskada, just 300 km south of Dauphin.
The storm hit so hard, that it delayed the CFL’s season opener between the Blue Bombers and Eskimos twice, due to lightning around Investors’ Group Field.
