Last Thursday's wild weather produced eight confirmed tornadoes across Saskatchewan, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).
"Having eight in one day, that is quite a substantial event, certainly a memorable event for sure," said Crawford Luke, a meteorologist with the agency.
Those eight bring the number of confirmed tornadoes for the province this year up to 12.
Luke said the province normally sees about 15 in an entire summer — the second most of any province in Canada.
"As a general statement, the province of Saskatchewan, it's not a stranger to tornadoes," he said.

Harrison Webster shared this video with CBC News and said he saw a tornado touch down near Balgonie, east of Regina, Thursday afternoon. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) issued several tornado warnings for parts of Saskatchewan late afternoon on June 19.
Supercell thunderstorms were responsible for last week's wild weather, which prompted a slew of emergency alerts for southern Saskatchewan on June 19, urging people to take cover.
ECCC worked with the Northern Tornadoes Project, based out of Western University in Ontario, to track and verify the tornadoes using videos and photos.
The last several days were spent getting details on the footage and ensuring two videos were not of the same tornado, Luke said.
There was some property damage to farms just south of the village of Hubbard, Luke said. The agency is currently investigating that damage to "help determine how strong" those tornadoes might have been.
No injuries were reported to ECCC.
