Saskatchewan residents across the province saw and felt the intensity of wild weather on July 1.
Social media posts shared from various cities and towns paint a picture of plethora of weather that visited Saskatchewan for Canada Day — from hail and lightning to downed trees and ominous clouds.
Plow wind ripped through 1015 Nipawin. Damage done not sure of injuries. We were camping. Camper and boat destroyed. Will evaluate in the morning. Our group safe. #skstorm @PQuinlanGlobal @ctvsaskatoon @ChasinSpin @MurphTWN @CBCSask pic.twitter.com/enRLwAss8f

In Nipawin, the popular barbecue restaurant, the Dam Smokehouse, reported significant damage on Facebook, including a gas line break.
The storms provided plenty of action for local storm chasers — and civilians — to capture.
