The storm behind this one is tornado warned for Detroit.


EDIT: AFTER ALMOST THIRTY MINUTES OF INTENSE ROTATION AND HIGH INDICATION OF A TORNADO... ENVIRONMENT CANADA ISSUES A TORNADO WARNING RIGHT BEFORE THE STORM PASSES OVER LAKE ERIE.

What appears to be a F0 tornado touched down in Amherstburg last night. Damage seems to be centered to County Rd. 10 from Anderdon Secondary School to County Rd. 11.

I'd actually rather have more missed warnings instead of tons of false ones. If they could get it so that a few missed warnings meant that every warning sent out was the real thing, I'd take that any day. It's all the crying wolf stuff that is the reason nobody pays attention to them anymore.

Some scans from this day,

About the time of the tornado- fifteen minutes before the warning
