Swift Current experienced an intense downpour during a summer storm Saturday.

The weather office noted that shower and thunderstorms were expected for much of southwestern Saskatchewan.

A funnel cloud was observed near the town of Plenty, about 160 kilometres west of Saskatoon.

The heavy rainfall caused a flash flood in parts of Swift Current, leaving some homes in the southwest Saskatchewan city with flooded basements.

RCMP said storm drains in the city overflowed and couldn't keep up with the heavy rain.

Social media was also active with people sharing what they encountered.
