The warning came from Environment Canada at 7 p.m
The tornado warning that Environment Canada put out for Ottawa Friday night has been taken away.
Around 7 p.m., a warning was sent out for the area because a severe thunderstorm that could make a tornado was near Arnprior, Ontario, and moving southeast at 60 km/h.
The agency said it had the potential to bring strong winds, big hail, and heavy rain.
Environment Canada said, “This is a dangerous situation that could put people’s lives in danger.”
The weather service told people to find a safe place to stay right away if they saw a funnel cloud, debris swirling near the ground, flying debris, or dangerous weather coming.
As of 7:20 p.m., there is still a severe thunderstorm warning for the nation’s capital and other parts of eastern Ontario and western Quebec.
An earlier storm on Friday brought heavy hail and cut power to a lot of people.
