Hazards: Strong wind gusts up to 90 km/h. Risk of tornadoes. Torrential downpours.

Timing: This afternoon.

Discussion: A line or area of thunderstorms is expected to push eastward through eastern Ontario this afternoon. The main threats with these thunderstorms will be strong wind gusts and a tornado threat.

In addition, the moist airmass will allow for storms to produce torrential downpours.

This is a dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation.

Be prepared for severe weather. Take cover immediately, if threatening weather Approaches.

In the event of a tornado, or if a tornado warning is issued for your area, it is recommended you take the following actions: Go indoors to a room on the lowest floor, away from outside walls and windows, such as a basement, bathroom, stairwell or interior closet. Leave mobile homes, vehicles, tents, trailers and other temporary or free-standing shelter, and move to a strong building if you can. As a last resort, lie in a low spot and protect your head from flying debris. Lightning kills and injures canadians every year. Remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!

Tornado watches are issued when atmospheric conditions are favourable for the development of thunderstorms that could produce tornadoes.

For those that don’t know prior to me being a professional entertainer. I used to be a first responder. Seen a lot of things that I can never unsee. Somethings that could have been prevented. So I want to educate you all because I know the summer is about to be in full affect and coming from a Beach Town (Wildwood NJ) our island sees millions of people throughout the three months of being a tourist attraction. With that being said, for those hitting the ocean and waves this summer.

You can spot a rip current. Unfortunately, it's where it looks easiest and safest to enter the sea. This is because the rip current is looping around and pulling back OUT. Hence no waves rolling IN. NEVER ENTER THE SEA HERE. If you are already in the sea and get caught in a rip current (you'll know because you will suddenly be moved from your location and it will be impossible to swim against it) don't panic. That’s how most people drown. It’s because they become tired so Swim ACROSS, not against the rip current.

For example, rather than trying to swim to shore while being pushed out, swim parallel to the beach and you will be able to get out. Then you can swim ashore. Please educate friends or family visiting the beaches this summer. Stay safe 🙏
