• Tornado touches down near Estevan, Sask.

"Some of that active weather made its way to Saskatchewan. We saw a lot of funnel clouds which are tornado-like cloud features that don't touch the ground," Phillips said.

"But then yesterday, it's almost as if the weather system just lingered," he added."They didn't do the Canadian thing which is hit-and-run; they just hung around and brought lots of rain."
