Tornado Warnings & Golf Ball Hail: Southern Manitoba’s Wild Storm ⛈️🌪️
Wow, what a wild night. Southern Manitoba got slammed by a highly unstable storm system that had everyone glued to their weather apps. Environment Canada dropped consecutive tornado warnings right across the region, putting areas from Transcona and East St. Paul to rural spots further south on high alert. We even had unconfirmed tornado touchdowns reported near Morris and Ste. Anne, plus a bunch of crazy funnel cloud sightings in De Salaberry.
If you were outside, you definitely felt it. The sky turned a menacing shade of green before dumping giant, golf ball-sized hail and unleashing torrential downpours that instantly flooded streets in downtown Winnipeg. On top of the intense local flooding, the lightning and high winds knocked out power to over 13,000 Manitoba Hydro customers—leaving a ton of neighborhoods sitting in the dark while crews worked through the night.
Did your neighborhood get hit by the hail or lose power?
