Streets, basements and businesses were flooded out after a torrential rainstorm hammered the southern Manitoba city of Steinbach on Thursday night. Vehicles were left stranded in sudden lakes as the city — 40 kilometres southeast of Winnipeg — was hit with 103 millimetres of rain in just four hours and 135 mm by the time it all stopped, according to Environment Canada. Environment Canada meteorologist Chris Stammers said a line of thunderstorms formed just south of Winnipeg late Thursday night, creating a narrow swath of heavy rainfall across west-to-east line. “We had what’s called training thunderstorms, so kind of a line that continuously hits the same area,” he said. Steinbach was hardest hit. Sprague in the southeast corner had 84 mm, Marchand had 58 mm, St. Pierre-Jolys had 33 mm and Zhoda had 25 mm. “Quite variable over short distances,” Stammers said. “It’s a very humid air mass for this time of the year and that can produce the very heavy rainfall that we’re seeing. It’s certainly not a fall like pattern that we’re [typically] in.” #mb #steinbach #rain #flood #weather
