Possible Tornado Near Lucan Wednesday Evening

While it's too early to confirm, Environment Canada is looking into the possibility of a tornado touching down in the Lucan area.

As of 11pm Wednesday evening, there had been no reports of damage.

While a tornado warning was not issued, the weather agency sent out multiple severe thunderstorm alerts throughout the day on Wednesday.

Environment Canada officials say if damage is reported, a team of investigators may attend the scene to determine if a tornado did in fact touch down.
