Damages from extreme wind gusts yesterday in Swift Current have produced some unbelievable damages in the city.

"One of my drivers says 'you might want to look at one of our semi trailers'," said Andy Keys, owner of AM Delivery And Courier Services in Swift Current. "So I went to the west end of our yard, where there was a 53-foot semi trailer that has been blown over right onto the top of my Range Rover... which we happened to have just put there because we thought it was going to be a safe place."

The news was shocking to Keys, upon seeing the damage done at his North Railway St. business by reported wind gusts of up to 124 km/h in the city.

"What are the chances... it's a 53-foot trailer that's stationary, that you don't think is going to go anywhere, and it looks like somebody has just picked it up and put it on top."

The Swift Current business owner said his damaged vehicle isn't plated, which means a lack of insurance, but the presence of a rather large headache.

He added, with a dry sense of humour, given the circumstances, that the SUV is up for grabs.

"If anybody wants to buy a convertible Range Rover now, come and see me - it's got a brand new engine."

Other damages to windshields and windows of other delivery vehicles means a busy day spent talking with SGI, according to Keys.

Keys, who was a Corporal in the British Army in the 80's and 90's, part of which was spent serving in the First Gulf War, says the scene last night and this morning of debris strewn around Swift Current was eerily reminiscent of a war zone.

'If you were driving around last night, there were ambulance crews racing around- they turned us around by Voth's (Brandsource on North Railway) because there was a power pole down, and debris all over the roads," Keys said. "It truly looked like a war scene, it really did - if anybody can imagine a war scene. Now, you can't even see a breath of wind out there."

Personal and work vehicles of Keys' sustained damage, as did a paintball field he owns in Springfeld south of Swift Current, ArMy Paintball.

"We've got a 120-foot bridge out there with panels on top which is pretty much destroyed. A couple of our buildings that we've got out in the field are blown over and pretty much rubble now. They can be rebuilt, so not such a big deal I guess," he said.

Keys, along with many around the city and southwest Saskatchewan continue the cleanup process today, as power outages still are plaguing parts of southwest Saskatchewan.
