Tornado warning lifted in southeast Manitoba
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has lifted a tornado warning for parts of southeast Manitoba.
The weather agency had issued warnings for the RM of Reynolds shortly after 4 p.m. Monday.
"Environment Canada meteorologists are tracking a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado," ECCC said in its warning.
According to ECCC, the thunderstorm was located about 10 kilometres west of Hadashville and was moving east at 50 km/h.
The storm is capable of quarter-sized hail and wind gusts in excess of 90 km/h.
"This is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation," ECCC said.
If a tornado occurs, ECCC recommends you go indoors to a room on the lowest level of a building, away from outside walls and windows. If you can, leave mobile homes, vehicles, tents, and trailers and move to a strong building. As a last resort, you should lie in a low spot and protect your head from flying debris.
