Environment Canada has issued a tornado warning for the London and eastern Middlesex county area.
The weather agency says at 4:15, it was tracking a dangerous thunderstorm that is likely producing a tornado.
At the time, radar imagery indicated strong rotation in a system about 20 km north of London which was moving eastward at 60 km/h.
Emergency Management Ontario recommends that you take cover immediately, if threatening weather approaches.
Go indoors to a room on the lowest floor, away from outside walls and windows, such as a basement, bathroom, stairwell or interior closet. Leave mobile homes, vehicles, tents, trailers and other temporary or free-standing shelter, and move to a strong building if you can. As a last resort, lie in a low spot and protect your head from flying debris.
If you hear a roaring sound or see a funnel cloud, swirling debris near the ground, flying debris, or any threatening weather approaching, take shelter immediately.
