Many homes in central Alberta were damaged by a severe thunderstorm Thursday that injured one person, Global News reported.
Contacted by the English media, Corporal Gina Slaney, spokeswoman for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), said five houses in the Sundre area were damaged.
However, only one home was destroyed, Ms Slaney said.
Although no details are available on who was injured, Corporal Slaney said it was only a minor injury caused by debris that fell after the storm.
Police officers and a team of firefighters checked to make sure everyone was safe where the storm was hitting hardest.
Also, many roads were closed due to debris and downed trees getting in the way. The latter have all reopened, Gina Slaney said.
Recall that Environment Canada issued a severe gale warning in several regions of Alberta on Thursday. Around 2:47 p.m., federal officials confirmed a tornado was forming in the Shantz region.
As of Thursday evening, Environment Canada still had not confirmed whether the tornado actually made landfall.
