EF3 Tornado Hits Saskatchewan

A rare EF3 tornado tore through southeastern Saskatchewan’s Northgate, Oxbow, and Alameda areas Tuesday, packing winds up to 265 km/h — the third-highest rating on the Enhanced Fujita scale. Though Saskatchewan’s “tornado alley” sees mostly weak EF0/EF1 storms, this powerful twister, possibly the fifth of its strength since 1980, caused major damage — especially to a farmstead — and will require extensive investigation. Officials warn survival is possible if you’re in a basement away from windows, but recent trends show stronger storms increasingly forming in central and northern Saskatchewan too, fueled by heat, moisture, and perfect atmospheric conditions.
