Mother nature flexed her muscles this evening but in the end, it has all been a show - at least for now. Severe thunderstorm warnings remain in the area and the strongest of the storms have moved off to the East. Although some fierce-looking clouds were spotted, no official tornados were actually sighted or verified.

Heavy rain fell for about 45 minutes and some streets in the area were flooded. Fast-moving clouds can still be seen around Portage and the constant rumble from the sky eased off as of 7 pm. 

A severe thunderstorm warning is still in effect for much of the area and weather radar at 7pm shows the storm moving into the Winnipeg area.
