Intense thunderstorm, gustnado captured on video in Regina

A gustnado was produced during Wednesday’s severe thunderstorm that tore through the Queen City.

It was caused by a strong downburst of winds that were clocked at 104 km/h.

“I was in total shock. I watched it form and thought no way,” said Pauline Gabriel who captured footage of the gustnado.

Gabriel took the video at 4:22 p.m on the corner of Arcola Avenue and Winnipeg Street. After realizing what she was witnessing, Gabriel grabbed her phone and hit record.

“I didn’t believe what I was seeing, it was pretty awe-inspiring to be honest.”

A band of severe thunderstorms developed in central Saskatchewan Wednesday afternoon and moved southeast.

Ping-pong sized hail was reported in Chaplin earlier in the afternoon.

Photos taken of the severe weather showed intense, well-structured cells embedded within a large band of thunderstorms.

The City of Moose Jaw was still cleaning up after an overnight hailstorm left mounds of hail.

A significant amount of hail fell on the city Wednesday morning, with up to 15 cm piled up in some areas.

Despite sunshine and 20 degree temperatures, mounds of hail could still be seen eight hours after the storm had passed.

This caused issues as residents commuted to work and school in the morning.
