Long Plain First Nation tornado evacuees could be out of homes for months, says chief

Upwards of 200 people from the Long Plain First Nation could be out of their homes for several months, after an tornado seriously damaged homes in the southern Manitoba community.

Environment Canada says an Enhanced Fujita Scale 1 tornado — or EF 1 tornado touched down and travelled at least eight kilometres.

Terry Richard and his five children are among the evacuees staying in Winnipeg while their community is restored. He said his three-bedroom home made it through the storm but was flooded.
