Here comes the WIND! There goes the BIGGEST storm system of the YEAR 2023
Wind gust danger early this evening as the strongest storm system of the year is beginning to rear its ugly head in southern Manitoba. This system produced a violent, public and damaging tornado event in Alberta in the afternoon and a top secret microburst or tornado north of Regina on Saturday evening. Eccccccccccc says its a high risk in southeastern areas of Manitoba. Echo tops show a discrete supercell that had popped up a little further west than expected. Again, those downstream of tornadic supercells are in grave danger. Take extreme precautions, watch the weather and stay safe! (We will process the secret footage tomorrow and post all the incredible highlights of this season in the coming days, boring weather ahead for at least the next two weeks)

Hoping to see something pop up over Wascana Lake, filming began..

To calculate the speed of the wind here all you have to do is know the distance between power poles and the speed of the debris that covers that distance. IF PowerPoleDistance=100m AND Debris speed is 3 seconds THEN it takes 30 seconds to go 1km WHICH = 120km/hr .. That is the speed of the outer bands of wind. The inner core of the tornado is obviously much higher, this looks like an EF3 which would correspond with similar events in Michigan from the same system. Environment Canada gave it a preliminary rating of EF0 because there were no reports of damage (unless SGI was to share information of course). The Western Ontario University Northern Tornado Project report can be viewed here: https://uwo.ca/ntp/blog/2022/landspout_tornado_near_caron_sk.html
As it super cooled off, another brief filming session with Kestrel temperature close monitoring as we saw it drop from 15C as the first sunshine came out after the rain, to 9C in about an hour!

On Friday, May 20th, an EF3 tornado ripped through Gaylord, Michigan killing 2 and injuring 40. Here is some of the highest level damage and an historic "wood through steel" photo:

This shockingly powerful storm ended up ripping across 1000km of the most populated areas of Ontario and Quebec including Toronto (121km/hr), Peterborough (130km/hr), Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City. At least 5 were killed, unknown at this time the damage or total injuries. Historic Derecho for sure.
