A brief tornado warning for areas north of London, Ont., has ended but a number of potentially dangerous storms continue to have watches in place across southwestern Ontario.
There were photos of limbs pulled down from trees near Thedford, Ont., about 60 km northwest of London. One image from Thedford showed a large metal and fabric cover — the kind that covers a riding corral — crumpled and draped over a barn.
As of 6 p.m. some storm cells with the potential to bring heavy winds and rain were forming west of Lake Huron in Michigan and heading toward the Canadian Lake Huron shores. 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."
