A strong storm system swept through south-central Alberta, with at least one tornado confirmed.
The Northern Tornadoes Project says one twister touched down in Rocky Mountain House, between Calgary and Edmonton on saturday night.
Around 6:30 p.m., a funnel cloud could be seen moving along Highway 11 at RR65, east of Rocky Mountain House from the Alberta 511 traffic cameras.
The Town of Rocky Mountain House said areas of both the town and Clearwater County sustained significant damage from the tornado.
Officials reported downed trees, blocked roads and damage to local infrastructure, along with damaged homes and buildings in the county.
A full damage assessment of the region will be completed in the coming days, the county said.
As of Saturday evening, no injuries had been reported.
