WINDSOR, ONT.—Environment Canada says at least one tornado touched down in the Windsor, Ont., area Wednesday night, though the strength of the storm isn’t yet known. Meteorologist Geoff Coulson says there were reports of tornadoes in Windsor and LaSalle, a nearby bedroom community, and it’s unclear whether they were one and the same. He says teams are in the area today to make that determination, gauge the width and the length of the storm’s path and get a sense of how powerful the winds were based on the severity of the damage. Meanwhile, residents and officials are dealing with the aftermath of the storm, which damaged more than a dozen homes and injured four people, though none critically. In a news conference this morning, Mayor Drew Dilkens said power had been restored to all but approximately 40 properties and public works crews are out clearing debris from roads.
