Storm blows in

Ominous looking clouds rolled into the Humboldt region around 3:30 p.m. on July 18. Weather forecasters were calling for major thunderstorms with the possibility of tornadoes, but the city of Humboldt just received rain.

It was another week of weird weather.
On July 18, another prairie storm blew through the area, complete with hail and thundershowers.
Although rumours of tornadoes near Muenster were reported, according to Environment Canada, there were no official reports of tornadoes touching down in the Humboldt region, although some were reported north towards Tisdale.
Representatives from Environment Canada said there is a possibility that there may have been funnel clouds, but they do not know of any tornadoes touching down.  
Humboldt and the surrounding area had lightning and thunder, but luckily there was no hail in the immediate surrounding area.
Towards Lanigan, rural residents were not as lucky, as there were reports of hail about 20 kilometres north of the town.
