Environment Canada has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for York Region
Meteorologists with Environment Canada were tracking a severe thunderstorm heading toward the area that is capable of producing very strong wind gusts, heavy rains and dime to ping pong ball-sized hail. A number of strong storms are moving from west to east through our region and are expected to intensify over the next hour or so.
The storms carry the risk of tornado, Environment Canada says.
If threatening weather approaches, Environment Canada advises you to take cover immediately. Large hail has the potential to damage property and cause injury, while strong wind gusts can toss loose objects, damage weak structures, break branches off trees and flip vehicles.
In the case of severe wind and tornadoes, go indoors, move away from windows and skylights and avoid areas of your building that could be affected by falling debris.
Also note lightning strikes kill up to 10 people each year in Canada.
Environment Canada meteorologists will update their alerts as required.
