People across Saskatchewan had their eyes on the skies on Friday night, as storm clouds rolled in across the prairies.
Around 4:00 p.m., the province issued a tornado watch for the R.M. of Harris and the R.M. of Montrose. Later that evening, a tornado warning was issued for the R.M. of Craik and the R.M. of Dufferin.
Many took to social media to share their most impressive photos of the night.
