Manitoba Weather Crisis Hits Hard | Winnipeg News

Manitoba’s weather turned brutal this weekend, with tornado warnings, heavy rain, and hail slamming communities like Souris, Wawanesa, and Peguis First Nation — leaving over 6,000 without power as crews battled through the night. Flooding remains a top threat, with Minnedosa, Sioux Valley Dakota Nation, and Brandon declaring local emergencies as residents sandbag homes. The Canadian Armed Forces and Team Rubicon Canada are now on the ground helping, while Swan River lifted some evacuation orders. Compounding the crisis, wildfire smoke is drifting into northern Manitoba, prompting air quality alerts and urging people to stay indoors and avoid outdoor activities. It’s a tough, multi-front emergency for Manitobans right now. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
