Much of southern Ontario saw a thunderous start to the weekend as a line of severe thunderstorms swept into the region Friday evening.
The line of potent storms prompted widespread severe thunderstorm warnings from Sarnia to Barrie, as well as one tornado warning near Durham.
Strong winds and heavy rain accompanied the storms as they pushed through the region. The thunderstorms provided quite the sight for residents in the region as shelf clouds and rainbows filled the skies.
