Tempests in the Heart of the Prairies The fury that swept through Winnipeg on Sunday night was a force to behold. Winds howled at 83 kilometres per hour, shattering windows and upending vehicles like toys.
Darryl Gervais, whose Pontiac Vibe rolled into a nearby lawn, is still reeling from the experience. "It's incredible," he said, shaking his head in awe of the sheer power of the storm.
The storm's impact was not limited to the physical destruction it caused. The statistics are stark: 35 millimetres of rain fell on Winnipeg that night, with The Forks receiving nearly 70 millimetres.
