## Resource

Tornado season on the Prairies is exploding—48 confirmed tornadoes so far, with Alberta alone hitting 23, a sharp jump from last year. Experts say this is the busiest season since the 1980s, and with six weeks left, numbers could keep climbing. Unusual weather patterns—moisture clashes with dry air—are fueling powerful storms with the wind shear needed to spawn tornadoes. Just recently, two tornadoes in Dillberry Lake Provincial Park injured three people and wrecked camp trailers. Damage assessments are ongoing, but one thing’s clear: the sky’s not done yet.
