Re: Manitoba Tornado
At least F4 I am hearing. Maybe F5 according to a few reports I have heard.
Last F4 in Canada was in 1987 in Edmonton; last F5 was in 1920 in rural Saskatchewan.

Re: Manitoba Tornado
Yes, the tornado in Elie Manitoba, a town about 35 kms west of Winnipeg on Friday night was devastating, fortunately, no deaths have been atrributed to these storms.
In Canada, during an average year, approximately 80 tornadoes occur and, on average, cause two deaths and 20 injuries, plus tens of millions of dollars in property damage. These are the reported numbers, many more tornadoes strike unpopulated areas and go undetected.
Canada's "tornado alleys" are southern Ontario, Alberta, southeastern Quebec, and a band stretching from southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba through to Thunder Bay. The interior of British Columbia and western New Brunswick are also tornado zones.
Canada's Worst Tornadoes
Regina, Saskatchewan - June 30, 1912 - 28 dead, hundreds injured
Edmonton, Alberta - July 31, 1987 - 27 dead, hundreds injured
Windsor, Ontario - June 17, 1946 - 17 dead, hundreds injured
Pine Lake, Alberta - July 14, 2000 - 12 dead, 140 injured
Valleyfield, Quebec - August 16, 1888 - 9 dead, 14 injured
Windsor, Ontario - April 3, 1974 - 9 dead, 30 injured
Barrie, Ontario - May 31, 1985 - 8 dead, 155 injured
Sudbury, Ontario - August 20, 1970 - 6 dead, 200 injured
St-Rose, Quebec - June 14, 1892 - 6 dead, 26 injured
Buctouche, New Brunswick - August 6, 1879 - 5 dead, 10 injured
