Many residents of the Southeast corner of Saskatchewan will be picking up after Wednesday's wind storm. 

"We've had a very intense low pressure centre tracking straight through towards Regina," explains regional meteorologist, Brian Proctor. "The very strong circulation associated with this low pressure centre and then we were seeing pressures beginning to fall rapidly in the area of south-central Saskatchewan."

"So what we have been seeing is very strong southeasterly winds develop around much of southern and southeastern Saskatchewan ahead of this low pressure centre and very strong westerly winds behind it through southern Alberta at this point."

He added that the winds have been especially significant around Regina and Estevan with gusts up to 77-78 km/hr. However, he noted that the strongest of the winds are over, and now attention turns to the clean up. 

"One of the big things when we get winds this strong is often a lot of our trees are just leafing out so we're seeing branches being torn off trees."

He notes another danger in these types of storms are lawn furniture and trampolines which can act as large sails. 

"One of the other problems this time of year typically tend to be associated with shingles. We get some significant wind gusts, we could see some shingles torn off. So people just need to be aware of what's out there."

The Environment Canada official wind warning was retracted around 4:30 on Wednesday afternoon.
