VIDEO: Tornadoes, severe storms cause damage across northern Sask.

A series of wild summer storms on Saturday night left devastation in their paths from the far west side of the province near Onion Lake, to the northeast by Kinistino and Carrot River.

By Sunday morning, power had been restored to a majority of customers in north central Saskatchewan including Prince Albert, La Ronge, Candle Lake and surrounding rural areas, but Tisdale, Nipawin, and the Carrot River area remained without power.

SaskPower said crews were working to restore services, but did not provide an estimate for the repair time.

There were multiple reports that a tornado touched down near Spiritwood, and the Northern Tornado Project confirmed a pair of tornadoes occurred within a single storm close to Glaslyn.

The group said the confirmations are based on visual evidence, and no damage or injuries have been reported.

Environment and Climate Change Canada confirmed a tornado near Tulliby Lake, Alta. just 10 minutes west of Onion Lake around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. The weather service said it received images of the tornado as well as damage along its path.

Several area residents posted videos of the tornado touching down and remnants of a vacant building that was completely torn apart.

The entire city of Prince Albert went black around 10:50 p.m. following the storm that brought destructive winds, heavy rain, hail and lightning.

Several streets saw localized flooding. There were also downed branches, however, the full extent of damage was not visible in the dark.

The storm also hit the Carrot River area, with the Town of Carrot River reporting many properties had damage from falling trees and several downed power lines.

Residents were being asked to conserve water use while the power is out so the town’s infrastructure can keep up.

In Kinistino about 20 minutes west of Melfort, the Ag World dealership roof collapsed, bins were blown over, and there are reports a shed owned by the Rural Municipality is also damaged. One resident told paNOW, it will take days to remove the broken trees and branches from her yard.

As the Saturday storm tracked east of Prince Albert, a post on the Kinistino Fire Department’s Facebook page said a plow wind that hit town caused significant damage.

“Please avoid driving around till we can assess the situation and make sure no power lines are in contact with the ground,” the post read.

SaskPower said due to safety reasons crews stopped work on Saturday night and would continue to work on repairs in Kinistino on Sunday morning.
