Location of Otterburne in Manitoba

Otterburne is a small settlement located about 50 kilometers south of Winnipeg. It is named after Otterburn, Northumberland in England,[1] and is the location of Providence University College and Theological Seminary. It is located in the Rural Municipality of De Salaberry.

On July 30, 2005, a wind storm reaching speeds of over 150 km/h ripped through the Otterburne area, destroying trees, damaging buildings, and picking up irrigation wheels which weighed over 15 tonnes.[2] Eyewitnesses reported that they had seen a tornado.
