Mother Nature socked it to Saskatchewan on Friday; the northern part of the province (including Saskatoon) had a blizzard with severe blowing winds. The southern half of the province (including Regina) were tossed and turned by a severe windstorm with sustained winds of 60 km/hr and gusts up to 90 km/hr. (That's hurricane force winds folks.)
Driving along Park Street I saw this house with its shingles being lifted and torn away by the wind. I heard reports of 3 semi-trailer trucks which were knocked to their sides as they drove along the TransCanada Highway. And SGI staff were evacuated from their building because of the wind blowing out their windows.
