Original story: A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect for Chatham-Kent.
Forecasters say at 1:40 p.m., Environment Canada meteorologists are tracking a line of dangerous thunderstorms capable of producing damaging wind gusts of 110 km/h.
This line of severe thunderstorms is located from Sarnia to Amherstburg, moving east at 70 km/h.
Communities in the path include: Windsor, Sarnia, Chatham, Amherstburg, Tecumseh, St. Clair Beach, Kingsville, Belle River, Lakeshore, Leamington, Petrolia and Forest.
Very strong wind gusts can damage buildings, down trees and blow large vehicles off the road. Remember, severe thunderstorms can produce tornadoes. Avoid areas of the building that could be affected by falling debris such as tree limbs. Lightning kills and injures Canadians every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!
The Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management recommends that you take cover immediately if threatening weather approaches.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@canada.ca or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
