Multiple tornadoes struck Saskatchewan and Manitoba as severe thunderstorms swept across the provinces on June 9, 2026. Large hail, flooding, and widespread damage due to the picturesque and damaging tornadoes were reported in multiple areas.

Multiple tornadoes were reported across parts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan on June 9 as severe storms swept across the region.

Tornado warnings were issued in both provinces starting around 15:30 local time (LT) on June 9. Multiple twisters were reported shortly after.

The Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP) confirmed that two tornadoes had struck the town of Ste Anne in Manitoba and Hirsch in Saskatchewan. They also reported that the tornado that had struck Hirsch on June 7 was preliminarily rated EF1.

“The NTP continues to survey wind damage from the storms in southeastern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba over the past several days. There have also been reports of tornadoes on social media,” the NTP said.

The supercells also brought along large hail and heavy rain to multiple regions, triggering widespread power outages.

The full extent of the storm damage is yet to be surveyed, with NTP conducting an active investigation of the event.

“We will provide more details on these events as they become available. There are other tornado reports, from both days, that we are working to verify as well,” the NTP said.

Saskatchewan’s first tornado of 2026 was an EF0 that touched down near Disley, west of Regina, on May 22.
