Environment Canada confirmed that a tornado touched down near Winnipeg Beach, Man., on Saturday afternoon.

The weather agency says the twister formed around 1 p.m., sweeping across the surface of Lake Winnipeg and eventually tracking inland for about 20 to 30 minutes.

There have been no reports of injuries or damage to property.

Melanie Groen, who was fishing on the beach, saw the funnel cloud starting to form and captured its development in a series of stunning photographs.

“It was super cool. It was awesome,” Goren told CTV Winnipeg.

“But it was scary. Very scary,” she added.

A tornado warning that was issued by Environment Canada earlier on Saturday for the nearby areas of Grand Beach, Beausejour and Dugald has now been lifted.

A special weather statement remains in effect.

Winnipeg Beach is a town about 76 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
