Some wild weather swept through southern Manitoba on Tuesday, pounding some places with hail, ripping down trees and damaging buildings.
It missed Winnipeg but the storm hit blasted some areas just to the north of the city — Selkirk, Pine Falls, Pinawa, Lac du Bonnet and areas to the east of there.
In Whitemouth and parts of the Whiteshell, trees were downed and even some buildings were damaged, said Environment Canada's Rob Paola.
"Winds [were] gusting likely 90 to 100 kilometres an hour to cause the kind of damage that was seen," said CBC weather specialist Marilyn Maki.
Gary Hanna, who lives in Pinawa, said the strange-looking clouds moved in just before 9 p.m. Then the wind started to blow and the hail poured down.
"I don't think it was quite golf sized where we were but it's bigger than pea, for sure. On our back deck it looked like it had snowed," he said.
A farm building off Highway 44 looked like it had exploded, said Hanna, noting the tin siding was blown over trees and into the ditch.
Power and television signals were out for several hours from Pinawa, to Lac du Bonnet to Gull Lake.
Highway 44 was closed for a time near Seddons Corner, just east of Beausejour, because power lines were blown down.
The severe thunderstorm tracked west of Gimli to Lake Winnipeg and then east to Lac du Bonnet, the Whiteshell and northwest Ontario, said Paola.
There were no reports of any injuries.
