WINNIPEG – A series of weather disturbances brought more trouble to flood-fighting Manitoba on the weekend.

A tornado was spotted a kilometre west of Hartney, Man., southwest of Brandon, at 9:50 p.m. Saturday, Environment Canada said. A combine header was moved about 70 metres by the winds at Hartney.

Funnel clouds were seen south of Elie, at Oak Bluff just south of Winnipeg, and west of Ste. Agathe as a storm moved through the area between 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday.

Hail was reported in western Manitoba, with reports of baseball-sized hail in Woodnorth, Man., near Virden, close to the Saskatchewan border.

In Brandon, 200 kilometres west of Winnipeg, trees were uprooted by 80 kilometre per hour winds on Friday evening, and 38 millimetres of rain fell in 15 minutes in a city already battling floodwaters.

Kelly Prouten said the winds sounded like a tornado and her family ran to the basement, fearing for their lives. On Sunday morning, they found trees had toppled and fences were torn down.

“Enough is enough,” she said.

Winds at Pilot Mound, Man., southeast of Brandon, hit 131 km/h, Environment Canada said.
