A scary Greyhound bus ride bringing back memories of a gruesome murder in Manitoba. A bus was stopped in Wandering River Monday night because of a man with a knife.

It was a big storm last night in the city. Environment Canada says wind gusts were up in the neighbourhood of 90 clicks an hour and there is some damage in Fort McMurray. Environment Canadas' Dan Kulak says it was mostly lightning strikes, and really there wasn't that much rain to go along with it considering the amount of lightning. Kulak says most of the damage appears to be minor, meaning trees falling on cars and trampolines hitting the sides of houses. There's no word on any injuries.
