‘Very clear path': Researchers analyze tornado north of London, Ont.
A research team from Western University's Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP) spent Canada Day near Lucan, Ont. analyzing the aftermath of an EFO Tornado. 'There's some markings in the crops here where the tornado went through,' says Aaron Jaffe, NTP survey lead. 'It left a very clear path. You can see it really well from the drone. There's trees here that had big branches snapped.' Tornado debris Lucan Pieces of Brenda Hawkins' barn were torn off during a tornado near Lucan, Ont. on Monday June 30, 2025 (Source: Brent Lale/CTV London) That location was just north of Elginfield Rd. on Richmond Street. One concession west on Saintsbury Line, the path went right through the property of Brenda Hawkins. 'It was the loudest, sound I've ever had ever heard,' says Hawkins. Tornado cleanup Lucan Brenda Hawkins points to the path where the tornado went through her property near Lucan, Ont. (Source: Brent Lale/CTV London) Pointing through the bean field toward the woods behind her home, she showed the damage. 'You can see there where it went through. Lots of tin from the old barns that was a little bit loose and that just gathered in the field. I thought for sure the whole thing was going to be going. There's a little bit of cleanup'. The tornado came through quickly Monday afternoon. Some residents are questioning why a weather alert wasn't sent out notifying people of potential danger. 'To be perfectly clear on the timeline, the funnel cloud was spotted at 3:25 p.m. and Environment Canada didn't put out the notification to 3:49 p.m.,' says Lucan-Biddulph Mayor Cathy Burghardt-Jesson. 'It was over and done with. So we can only notify on our social media channels if we have the alert from Environment Canada.' funnel tornado twister lucan, ontario Video still from the Northern Tornadoes Project shows a funnel cloud formation near Lucan, Ont. on June 30, 2025. NTP says it is not uncommon for smaller storms to come and go before a notice can be issued. 'In a perfect world, every single tornado that happens in Canada would have a warning beforehand,' says Jaffe. 'Hopefully one day we can get to that, but it is quite difficult to do that for these weaker events like this one. Would it be nice if this one was warned? Absolutely and hopefully, we reached something close to that one day.' In their early assessment, NTP believes there could have been more than one tornado touching down in the Lucan area. They will take their evidence back to the office to analyze. While they do their work, officials in Lucan will look into what lessons could be learned from this incident. 'The next time our emergency control group gets together, we'll kind of talk about what happened and the timeline,' says Burghardt-Jesson. 'What was in our control and how we can serve our residents better in the event that we're faced with another weather emergency'. Over the next few days, the Hawkins family will begin picking up the pieces left behind, thankful the path missed their home and other barns. 'It could have been a lot worse,' says Hawkins.

Wildfire near Lytton, B.C., prompts local state of emergency, evacuation order
The Thompson-Nicola Regional District, as shown in this handout photo provided by BC Wildfire Service, has declared a local state of emergency for the Blue Sky Country region due to an encroaching out-of-control wildfire in south-central British Columbia. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Handout — BC Wildfire Service (Mandatory Credit) The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has declared a local state of emergency for the Blue Sky Country region due to an encroaching out-of-control wildfire near Lytton, B.C. It has also issued an evacuation order for two properties on Spencer Road South as the blaze poses 'immediate danger to life.' The BC Wildfire Service says the Nikaia Creek wildfire is about six hectares in size and is one of more than 70 wildfires burning across the province. It says crews, supported by firefighters from Lytton First Nation, made 'good progress' overnight and they are now focused on the north and south flanks of the blaze. The Thompson-Nicola Regional District also issued an evacuation alert Monday night for nine properties in the Harper Lake area near Chase, B.C., due to the rapidly growing Mount Scatchard wildfire. The blaze, which was discovered Monday and is about 35 hectares in size, also prompted the Neskonlith Indian Band to issue an evacuation order for 40 properties on Monday. The BCWS dashboard says hot and dry weather is expected to continue this week across most of B.C. It says northwest B.C. has cooler weather, as central and northeast B.C. are seeing warm seasonal temperatures. But the dashboard says southern B.C. will see very hot weather conditions, with temperatures five to 10 degrees above seasonal averages. It says thunderstorms are also expected to increase provincewide, with lightning risk peaking Tuesday. 'Given the ongoing dry and warm conditions, there is an increase in the potential for wildfires with the risk for dry lightning,' it says. About 85 per cent of the fires burning in B.C. are believed to be caused by lightning, while 15 per cent are believed to be human caused. This report by Brieanna Charlebois, The Canadian Press, was first published July 1, 2025.
