A stormy Wednesday evening filled with tornado warnings and severe thunderstorm watches has left many Manitobans with spectacular photos and videos from a relatively rare event.

The below video includes footage from Riley Klassen (first clip) of a tornado located near Darlingford, Man., approximately 100 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg.

The stormy weather began earlier in the afternoon in western Manitoba, and provided storm chasers with plenty of action. At least four tornadoes touched down in the region according to reports.

Scott Kehler of Weather logics posted on X that he saw two on the ground near Rivers, Man., two near Baldur, Man., and possibly a fifth south of Carberry, Man.

A large tornado near Swan Lake, Man., touched down and damaged the local Pow Wow grounds.

No major damage or injuries have been reported as of yet in relation to any of the storms.
