Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement about the potential for severe thunderstorms, and even possible tornadoes, tonight in southwestern Ontario.
In the early afternoon, Bluewater Power was reporting a weather-related outage in Sarnia affecting about 3,200 customers, but has since restored power to the affected area.
The tornado watch statements issued earlier Wednesday say the storms could bring damaging wind gusts of up to between 90 and 110 kilometres an hour. Hail the size of a nickel, and up to the size of a toonie, is also possible. "The area of greatest concern at this point is from the Windsor area through London and also including the shores of Lake Huron and up through the Bruce Peninsula, and parts of Gerogian Bay," he said. "The real concern at this time is the southwest."
