Power Outages Affect Western Manitoba Due to High Winds and Dust Storms

On May 14, 2026, southwestern Manitoba experienced widespread power outages caused by strong winds and dust storm conditions. Manitoba Hydro reported that conditions became too dangerous for crews to continue restoration work Thursday night, leading to a pause until daylight. The severe weather caused downed power lines and broken trees across the Parkland and Westman regions. Wind speeds throughout the day reached between 70 and 90 kilometres per hour, with forecasts for Friday predicting sustained winds of 50 km/h, gusting up to 70 km/h. The combination of low visibility at night and ongoing strong winds made it unsafe for repair crews to operate. Residents in affected areas were left without power as crews planned to resume restoration efforts in the morning. Dust storm and wind warnings remain in effect across southern Manitoba, highlighting the persistent risk to infrastructure and public safety.

Swapped in an Anker Solix instead of buying new batteries for the UPS (upfront cost nearly the same, over the life of the LiFEPO4 based unit, will be cheaper). Crossing fingers it works better! #UPS #backup #poweroutages
