In fact, at the Yorkton airport, 22 mm of rain was reported last night. But that's not the whole story. Other parts of Saskatchewan, and my own region for that matter, got a lot more. Esterhazy got 75 mm (3 inches), along with Willowbrook. Regina got 78 mils, Coronach, in southeastern Saskatchewan, got 85.
Coming into the office this morning I saw very few deep puddles on the main drag. After a heavy rain, there usually are. I've also heard no reports of flooding or damage from wind or hail either here or across most of the region. But that's not a blanket statement.
In the far southwest corner of Manitoba, there was severe weather. 2 tornado's touched down, with one on the ground for a reported 3 hours! It pretty much tracked north on the eastern side of the boundary with Saskatchewan, and went from Pierson to Virden. There were reports of asphalt being ripped up, and a farmstead near Tilston was damaged. But other than that, no major damage is reported.
And we're not out of the woods yet. A rainfall warning continues, with another 10 to 15 mils expected today.
I knew I should have cut the lawn Sunday.
