A severe thunderstorm rolled through southeastern Manitoba shortly before 6 Friday evening.

Grunthal, St. Malo, and the surrounding area seem to have been hit hardest with reports of driving wind gusts knocking down trees, sheds, and an internet tower.

Over the course of the evening, Steinbach received 13 millimetres of rain and St. Pierre received 19 millimetres. Farther south the rain was lighter with Zhoda getting only 7 millimetres.
