The Storm of 2011
Prince Albert National Park, Saskatchewan
This scene was photographed near Prospect Point on Waskesiu Lake. “The Storm of 2011” created major damage throughout the Lakeland area. The cloud formations in this image are called mammatus clouds and contain considerable energy. You can almost see little twisters in the clouds as well. Tornadoes did rip through the area creating lot of damage both to property and to the forest environment. Swaths of forest landscape were literally cut down, reminding us of the power of Mother Nature. Thankfully no one was injured in the immediate area where the image was photographed, but much damaged occurred due to hail and high winds.
