Saskatchewan has had to deal with some severe weather so far this week.
A large tornado touched the ground southwest of Moose Jaw around 5:30 Tuesday afternoon while another twister was reported near Swift Current.
No injuries or damages have been reported.
Moose Jaw resident Lou Pilsner tells 660News, the tornado struck in a field just outside the city.
He says there was a lot of wind and rain within the city but it blew over late Tuesday evening.
In Northern Saskatchewan, residents are still picking up the pieces in Prince Albert from another storm and its still unknown when power will be restored to about 40-thousand people.
SaskPower says a severe storm in the region Monday night downed power lines and transmission towers.
Power is out in a wide swath from Lloydminster west to Prince Albert and stretching north.
Some areas received baseball-sized hail and winds of more than 100 kilometres an hour, but there are no reports of any serious injuries.
