A Churchbridge dance studio suffered extensive flooding after weekend storms brought up to 50 mm of rain to the area. The severe weather system swept through southeast Saskatchewan, causing damage and prompting reports of multiple funnel clouds.
Storm Impacts
The heavy rainfall overwhelmed drainage systems, leading to water intrusion in the dance studio. Local residents reported standing water and property damage. Emergency crews responded to several calls about flooded basements and road hazards.
Funnel Clouds and Safety
Environment Canada confirmed multiple funnel cloud sightings in the region. Although no touchdowns were reported, officials warned residents to stay alert for further severe weather. The storms also caused power outages in some rural areas.
Authorities advise checking sump pumps, clearing drains, and avoiding travel through flooded roads. The dance studio's owner is assessing the damage and working with insurance to begin cleanup.
