Hotain was left with an injured hip but she also lost everythingmany of her possessions among the debris that lines the road.

The objects she misses most are pictures of her parents.

Environment Canadas storm survey team said it was likely an EFO OR EF1 tornadomeaning 130 kilometres winds per hourthat caused the damage.

Five homes at Sioux Valley First Nation were badly damaged.

"It was a wall of clouds from here to there, just like marshmallows coming down," said Elisha Taylor, one of those forced to flee.
