Tornado warning issued in Manitoba

A tornado warning has been issued for several communities in Manitoba’s southwest.

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) issued a red warning at 3:43 p.m. for Killarney, Turtle Mountain and Ninette.

“Environment Canada meteorologists are tracking a severe thunderstorm that is possible producing a tornado,” the alert reads. “Damaging winds, large hail and locally intense rainfall are also possible.”

The alert said the storm is moving southeast at 30 km/h.

This comes as several other Manitoba communities, such as Brandon, Souris, and the RM of Dauphin, remain under a tornado watch.

ECCC said if a tornado occurs, people should go indoors to a room on the lowest floor and away from outside walls and windows.

Last month, eight tornadoes were reported in Manitoba.
