On July 8, 2026, a severe storm system spawned two tornadoes in central Alberta, injuring five and hospitalizing three. The first tornado struck Dillberry Lake Provincial Park at 5:30 p.m., shredding tents and sending debris flying with 180 km/h winds over a 4.2 km path. A second tornado hit the Paradise Valley area near Chauvin, forcing evacuations and straining hospital surge protocols. Experts say this rare dual-tornado event signals climate change is shifting tornado alley northward, with tornado frequency in the Canadian Prairies up 35% since 2000.
