While it is true Windsor-Essex broke a record for rainfall on Wednesday, meteorologists are much more interested in those wind gusts.
During the second wave of thunderstorms Wednesday night, gusts of 124 kilometres per hour, strong enough to knock down a tree, were recorded at the Windsor Airport.
Meteorologist Peter Kimball said there are no reports of damage in the Windsor area, but the agency would like to hear from anyone who has wind damage on their property from the storm.
"If people do know of any damage, they can always let us know," he said. "They can send pictures; they can send reports of what they saw."
Pictures of the damage are helpful too.
Reports can be submitted online.

There was wind damage Wednesday night in Petrolia, north of Windsor, and Kimball said a team of investigators working with the Western University are headed to that area Thursday.
"We do know that there was a barn damaged in Petrolia and trees uprooted," he said.
Kimball said it was too early to tell if a tornado hit the area.
As for the rain we got in the Windsor area, he said 44 millimetres fell.
"I don't really think it's a significant record," said Kimball. "The record for September 11 previously was 26 mm at the airport, 35 mm at Riverside and we broke both of those at 44mm. It certainly would not be when you compare that to records on other days in September."
