Remember the storm of 1993?

By Joan Janzen

If you grew up in Kindersley, or have been a long-time resident you will remember the storm that swept through Kindersley on the evening of July 29, 1993. Rain along with gale force winds swept away everything in its path.

An article in The Clarion reported winds were 118 km, which is the lower end of hurricane force winds. There was lots of thunder and lightning, and large trees were uprooted throughout town. Many insurance claims were made for damage to homes, schools, property and vehicles.
