Southeast Saskatchewan saw some active weather Saturday as plough winds and tornados ripped through the area.
Yorkton storm hunter Ryan Crouse was on the ground chasing clouds throughout the day, including more than a few funnel clouds and at least one tornado that touched down.
“The wind was unbelievable actually,” he said on the phone Saturday during a break in his chase. “I had the door open and I thought the door was going to blow right off.”
Crouse spent most of the day skirting along the Manitoba border around Kamsask and Wroxton, which lies about a half hour drive east of Yorkton. By mid-afternoon, Crouse had spotted 4 funnel clouds, and one full-fledged tornado that touched down for around five seconds.
