Environment Canada endes tornado warning for southwestern Ontario

Environment Canada says southwestern Ontario is no longer under a tornado warning.

Meteorologists had been tracking a severe thunderstorm carrying strong winds, large hail and potentially intense rainfall.

The weather agency issued a tornado warning for the region shortly before 1:00 p.m.

One confirmed tornado was located north of Mitchell, Ont., but no damage has been reported.

Environment Canada urges people to take cover immediately if threatening weather approaches.

It says a roaring sound or funnel cloud would be a strong indicator of a serious storm approaching.
