Tornado rips through northern Saskatchewan
People in Smeaton, Sask., are still picking up the pieces after a tornado ripped through the area Saturday night, sweeping through four farmyards and destroying a man's house.
The RCMP said a farmer survived the tornado with minor injuries.
"[The farmer] was actually inside his house when his house was just thrown back about 20 feet or so," said Cpl. Lance Bouvier with Smeaton RCMP.
Cpl. Bouvier said the tornado tore the house from its foundation.
The twister hit three other farmyards, tossing around farm equipment and uprooting trees.
No other injuries have been reported.
Smeaton is located about 80 kilometres northeast of Prince Albert.
