Long Plain First Nation continues tornado cleanup as dozens return home

Hundreds of volunteers spent their weekend at Long Plain First Nation picking up shingles, toys and pieces of homes after a tornado tore through the southern Manitoba community last week.

Environment Canada says an enhanced Fujita scale 1 (EF-1) tornado touched down and travelled at least eight kilometres on Wednesday, tearing roofs off houses, flipping vehicles and bringing down trees at the First Nation.

"[The cleanup is] going very well," Chief Dennis Meeches said on Sunday afternoon.
