Alberta RCMP say houses have been damaged following a tornado affecting communities in Mountain View County, but the full scope of the impact is not immediately known. 

The tornado prompted an Alberta Emergency Alert to be issued on Saturday afternoon affecting Didsbury, Olds, and Carstairs. By 2:45 p.m. that alert had been cancelled. 

RCMP had intially told media that injuries had been reported in the area, but in a second release at 4:15 p.m., RCMP said “the latest report from the ground in Didsbury RCMP detachment area is that numerous homes have been damaged. However, at this time, it does not appear that anyone was injured.”
