In the midst of a very active summer of severe weather, mother nature dealt out six tornadoes to the province on Friday, July 21st.

There were two north of Lanigan, one north of the Jansen Mine, one near the village of Quill Lake, one near Fishing Lake and one between Wapella and Rocanville. According to Environment Canada, no damage or injuries were reported.

"This is our peak severe weather season," explained Regional Meteorologist Terri Laing. "We don't often see what we call a 'tornado outbreak' which means we see more than one, so six to us is unusual. It's a high number and one of the highest we have seen."

"Luckily it was really well forecast and there were a lot of storm chasers out on the ground who were able to confirm what we were seeing on the radar."

As the end of July approaches, Laing says residents can expect to see more severe weather to continue with the favorable conditions brewing.

"Its been an active year so far and it has a lot to do with the weather patterns that form. These systems need heat and moisture to build up. When the winds come from the south to southeast, the moisture actually comes from the gulf of Mexico. We have seen it happen a lot so far this year and we expect it to continue."

"Every one should be on their toes and know when the chance of severe weather is a possibility."

The increase in the number of tornadoes should be a good reminder to the public of certain steps to take if a tornado or warning takes place. A tornado warning indicates that one has been spotted or the radar shows that it is likely to happen.

"Go to the basement if you have one or try to put yourself in a room with no windows. If you don't have a basement or storm cellar, we ask you to go into the bathtub with a blanket over your head. If you're in a large building we ask that you go into the lowest floor or in an interior hallway," Laing concluded.

Leave mobile homes, vehicles, tents, trailers and other temporary or free-standing shelter, and move to a strong building if you can. As a last resort, lie in a low spot and protect your head from flying debris.
