VIDEO: ‘Devastating thunderstorms’ and at least one tornado hit southeast Sask.

Environment Canada says “devastating thunderstorms” – including at least one tornado – tore through southeastern Saskatchewan on Tuesday night.

The weather service said it will still be some time before the full extent of the damage is known, but the storm brought hail the size of golf balls to the Regina area, along with some localized flooding, while wind gusts up to around 85 kilometres per hour were reported in the Estevan and Yorkton areas.

“A tornado was reported in the North Portal/Oxbow/Alameda area of Saskatchewan, and there have been reports of damage in this area,” the weather service said in a statement.

Significant damage has been reported in the Oxbow area, where Erin Brown captured footage of a tornado.

Kyle McAulay, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, said the weather service has received multiple reports of the tornado in the Oxbow area, though it will be some time before the full extent of the damage it caused is known.

“One of the reports says the tornado was on the ground, and then it lifted up and another one came down, so hard to say exactly how many at this point in time,” he said.

“Manitoba had a couple also, but so far no reports of damage.”

McAulay said a very large and widespread system of thunderstorms formed on Tuesday, moving from Saskatchewan into Manitoba.

“As these thunderstorms developed, they eventually formed an organized line from south to north, and then moved off to the east. And with that line, that made some pretty intense wind gusts, but that line was – by the time it was formed – was mostly in the Manitoba side,” he explained.

“Sometimes you just get a thunderstorm that hits a couple small towns, but this was pretty much everywhere across southern Manitoba and southeast Saskatchewan. It was such a large area.”

In the Indian Head and Weyburn area, Environment Canada said 30 millimetres of rain fell.

The weather system on Tuesday night marked the third major storm to hit the southeast in a week. Carlyle Mayor Jenn Sedor said residents are feeling a bit fatigued.

“We’re all feeling very frustrated with the weather right now,” she said on Tuesday.

“We just kind of sustained damage from a wind storm a couple weeks ago and roofs had just been repaired and siding had been patched. So, here we are again, cleaning up for a second time, and now today, potentially a third.”
