Environment Canada warns Manitobans of a “dangerous” storm moving across the province.
On Sunday, the weather agency issued a storm warning for some communities in southern Manitoba.
The warning notes that Sunday’s storm could bring strong winds, heavy rain and hail the size of golf balls.
At 11:40 a.m., the storm is near Ste. Agathe and moves east at 30 km / h.
Environment Canada is asking residents to protect themselves in the face of threatening weather.
Heavy rains can cause sudden flooding and accumulations of water on the roads. Large hail can damage property, break windows and damage vehicles. It can also cause injuries.
Strong winds can throw loose objects, damage buildings, break tree branches and overturn vehicles.
The weather agency also reminds people that severe storms can cause tornadoes and that lightning kills and injures Canadians every year.
