At 9:40 p.m. EDT, Environment Canada meteorologists said they were tracking a severe thunderstorm that is possibly producing a tornado. Damaging winds, large hail and locally intense rainfall are also possible. Emergency alerts are being broadcast on television.
Doppler radar indicates a potential tornado east of Barrie and another potential tornado near Furnace Falls. Both thunderstorms are heading eastward at 40 km/h.
Tornado warnings are issued when imminent or occurring thunderstorms are likely to produce or are producing tornadoes.
Take cover immediately, if threatening weather approaches. Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!
The Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management recommends that you take cover immediately if threatening weather approaches.
