Environment Canada has issued a tornado warning for an area west of Cornwall, Ont.
Just before 4 p.m., the agency said its meteorologists are tracking a severe thunderstorm that is possibly producing a tornado.
“This is a very dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation,” the warning said.
Communities covered by the warning include Winchester, Newington, Morrisburg, and Long Sault.
Damaging winds, large hail and locally intense rainfall are also possible, it said.
Watches mean a tornado is possible. Warnings mean one is happening or seen as likely to happen.
Precautions around a tornado alert include getting to a basement, or a ground-floor room away from windows, or under a heavy table or desk, or a ditch if outside.
