Nearly a dozen homes have been destroyed and several others damaged by a tornado that hit the Kawacatoose reserve near Raymore, Saskatchewan Friday night.
Meterologists are working to determine the strength of the twister; initial indications say this was an F2 or F3 tornado.
Kawacatoose Chief Darin Poorman has declared a state of emergency and will meet with provincial officials Saturday to determine what aid is available for tornado victims.
There are no reports of death or injuries.
Friday’s tornado in Kawacatoose follows a massive storm on Thursday in Yorkton, which caused flash floods and saw 130 people forced from their homes.
