Environment Canada looking into why tornado warning not issued
Environment Canada is reviewing why a tornado warning wasn’t issued before a twister touched down between Bethune and Regina Beach earlier in the week.
Meteorologist John Paul Cragg confirmed a severe thunderstorm watch was in place before that was upgraded to a severe thunderstorm warning. However, the weather office never did give a direct heads-up for the potential of a tornado.
“In this particular situation we just have to look back at what was there, what we could see, what we couldn’t and why the tornado warning wasn’t issued,” he explained.
There were no reports of injuries after the twister hit the ground aboutabout 10 kilometres northeast of Bethune Wednesday.
