Last night saw at least two tornado touchdowns around Long Plain First Nation, and as you saw and heard, there was extensive damage.

Just how many funnel clouds there were isn't known. That's from Environment Canada Meteorologist Dan Kulak, who says the storms originated in the western part of the province.

"Southwest of Brandon, and moved across the far southern part of Manitoba during the late afternoon and evening hours, reaching as far east as Winnipeg, doing some damage out to Beausejour. So generally a set of long storms, lasting a number of hours in the evening. It looks like at least one or two tornadoes, and we're still counting the events from last night."

Kulak thinks it's less likely we'll see a repeat of last night later today, even though temperatures will be warm again, noting heat and humidity are only part of what generates severe thunderstorms.

"It does look like today is going to be a less intense day. Some of the other factors that come into play aren't there like they were yesterday -- the jetstream is moving a little bit further eastward -- so today is going to be some activity across southern Manitoba. I don't think it's going to be the same potential for really intense super-cells, very strong thunderstorms, and tornadoes as well had in the last 24 hours."

Kulak urges you to have a plan in place, so you're ready if another situation like this happens again.
