Saskatchewan storms brings hail, rain

Jul 27, 2011 | 10:52 AM

Southern Saskatchewan was covered with several severe thunderstorm watches and warnings late Tuesday afternoon, bringing with them some tornado warnings north of Regina.

In the Wilcox area, tornado hunter Greg Johnson was thankful that the weather radar in Bethune, that's been down on and off the last few weeks, was working or there would have been a huge and dangerous blackout area.

“We hear warnings today, we take them seriously and we get underground if possible,” said Johnson.

But thankfully, there have been no reports of twisters touching down. Johnson says funnel clouds were confirmed near Strasbourg.

Al Laatsch of Silton said although the town was under a tornado warning, things seemed pretty clear, for the most part.
