No need to worry: Tornado Warning sent out in error by Environment Canada

LONDON, ONT. — A tornado warning issued by Environment Canada for London-Middlesex Tuesday morning was sent out in error.

There are currently no warnings issued across southwestern Ontario.

It is unclear how the error occurred as warnings are typically issued when a tornado is imminent.

Soon after the warning was issued it was rescinded.

There is a 30 per cent change of thunderstorms overnight and a 60 per cent chance of thunderstorms Thursday.

The forecast for Tuesday is 23 degrees and mainly sunny.

Some took to social to voice their concern over the false alarm.

Storm chaser David Piano said on twitter that these kind of errors could make for a potentially dangerous situation.
