The weather agency warned that the storm could also produce damaging winds, large hail and locally heavy rainfall.

“This is an extremely dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation,” Environment Canada said in its warning.

Residents are advised to immediately take shelter in basements, indoor spaces or sturdy shelters if bad weather approaches.

Environment Canada also warned that “tornadoes can occur due to rain and may not be visible.”

The agency said anyone who was in the water should return to shore and seek shelter if possible. If this is not possible, people should stay out of the tornado’s path, wear a life jacket, lie face down and protect their head.
