The thunderstorms that swept across the prairies between June 28 and 30 caused $50 million in insured damages, according to the IBC.

The storms were caused by a warm and humid air mass, that also triggered heavy rain and flooding, strong winds, hail in Ototoks, Alta. and a small tornado near Ponoka, Alta.


“Storms like this bring the message home that we are seeing more extreme weather events and resulting damage to property,” said Bill Adams, Vice-President, Western and Pacific, IBC.
