Multiple tornadoes touch down in Manitoba storm Wednesday – The Weather Network

Over the course of three hours, the storm tracked southeast for about 300 kilometres, from Binscarth to the Morden-Winkler area, around 100 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg.

Reports of tornadoes were made in Rapid City and Rivers area, around 220 kilometres west of Winnipeg, and near Baldur, around 160 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg, Fulton said.

There were no reports of tornadoes around Morden-Winkler, but they did get hit by damaging winds and golf-ball-sized hail, he said.

“I think we were pretty lucky in that … these guys mostly stayed in the agricultural areas.”

Fulton expects the weather will be calmer for a couple of days, but said stormy weather may return Saturday.
