Jun 1, 2023 | 8:52 PM

A fast moving thunderstorm that left a deluge of rain in its wake, also caused some localized flooding Thursday night in Prince Albert.

The heavy downpour started around 8 p.m. shortly after Environment Canada issued a severe thunderstorm warning and lasted only minutes.

Meteorologists tracked the storm near Spruce Home around 8:15 p.m. and said it was moving northwest at 30 km/h.

Environment Canada said the severe thunderstorm is capable of producing very strong wind gusts, nickel to ping pong ball size hail, heavy rain and intense lightning.
