Wind storm causes damage

IMG 6888

Heavy wind and rain on Sunday afternoon swept through the valley causing damage to trees and buildings.

A wind warning was in effect for most of the afternoon of May 31, and a tornado was spotted in the Beiseker area. Late in the afternoon, the winds picked up. Gusts were strong enough to knock over power poles, break trees. and blow down fences. It appears the whole valley felt its wrath, including localized power outages. 

Towards the evening the wind died down leaving a steady rain.
