Tornado season spins out 29 twisters across Prairies, with killer Alonsa winds topping the scale


There were 29 tornadoes across the Canadian Prairies this summer, with Saskatchewan registering the most, but the one in Alonsa, Man., caused the most damage. The Prairie and Arctic Storm Prediction Centre released these preliminary 2018 summer tornado numbers. The 2018 tornado count, to this point, shows 19 touched down in Saskatchewan, eight in Manitoba and two in Alberta. Wreckage litters the ground at Jack Furrie's property in Alonsa, Man., after the tornado that killed him. Landspout tornadoes do not usually cause major damage but can still be strong enough to topple trees, damage roofs or toss debris short distances.
