Bringing high winds, rain and unconfirmed tornado reports, a number of severe summer storms made their mark across southwestern Ontario on Wednesday.
The storms began rolling east from Michigan in the early afternoon, at first bringing heavy rains and winds to areas along the Lake Huron shoreline from near Goderich up to Georgian Bay.
But it was a storm that travelled from Sarnia just before 7 p.m. ET that caused the most damage in the farming community of Thedford, Ont., about 60 kilometres northwest of London. "There were a lot of snapped trees in that corridor between Thedford and Arkona," a community some 10 kilometres to the south, he said.
