Environment Canada Meteorologist Justin Shaer, said Monday morning they are working to confirm a tornado touched down in the region.
“That was said to have happened late in the afternoon or early evening yesterday, (Monday) ” Shaer said. “There is pictures online, it just hasn’t been confirmed yet,” he added.
Shaer did confirm that large hail fell in many areas.
“We’ve got golf balls reported in Spring Valley, ping-pong ball sized hail in Ormiston, golf ball sized hail in Crane Valley, loonies in Willow Bunch, toonies in Lampman, and ping-pong ball to tennis ball sized hail four miles west and eight miles southwest of Bengough,” Shaer said.
