Twister touched down near Lucan on Monday, confirms Northern Tornadoes Project
The Northern Tornadoes Project has confirmed a small tornado touched down Monday near Lucan, Ont. Environment Canada issued a warning around 3:50 p.m. for the areas of Stratford, Mitchell, southern Perth County and London. The agency said its meteorologists had been tracking a severe thunderstorm with the potential to produce a twister. The warning was called off less than 10 minutes later. While no injuries were reported, the sudden storm left behind some minor damage to trees and crops.

(Source: Northern Tornadoes Project) 'I saw the funnel and I heard it,' Brenda Hawkins told CTV News London. 'All the debris, all the old tins, everything was flying in the air.' Dr. David Sills, NTP's director, said he reviewed videos of the funnel cloud and did an initial survey at Airport Drive and Saintsbury Line. He has given the tornado a preliminary EF0 rating. Sills said a full ground and drone survey will be conducted Tuesday to determine the twister's path and any additional damage it caused.
