On the same day that a new round of tornado warnings and severe storm warnings was issued in Alberta, Environment Canada confirmed Thursday that three tornadoes landed in the province earlier in the week.
In a summary of the weather posted on its website, the weather agency said the three tornadoes landed on Tuesday.
The first bend was observed near the central Alberta village of Alliance at 14:38, the second was seen near the village of Consort, east of Alberta at 16:44, and the third was also seen at 4:44 p.m., but near an area in the eastern part of the province known as Neutral Hills.
“Environment Canada received several reports and photos of tornadoes, but there were no reports of damage,” the weather agency said Thursday.
“The three tornadoes have received a preliminary rating from EF0, but may be updated as the investigation continues.”
