Information Supplied By Environment Canada. Severe Thunderstorm A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is issued when conditions are likely for the development of thunderstorms, some of which may become severe thunderstorms with large hail, heavy rain, deadly lightning or damaging winds and possibly tornadoes within the areas and times specified in the watch. You should use this time to secure loose objects, shelter animals, ensure family members or co-workers are prepared to take action and listen carefully for an updated weather report. This is the time to develop a plan. A Severe Thunderstorm Warning is issued when a severe storm has developed, producing one or more of the following conditions: flooding rain, destructive winds with gusts greater that 90 km/h, hail of at least 10 to 20 mm in diameter or intense lightning. Severe thunderstorms may also produce tornadoes. The storm’s expected motion and developments will be given in the warning. If you are in the area specified, take shelter. Safety Tip: Use the lightning safety 30-30 Rule...if you count less than 30 seconds between the lightning flash and the sound of thunder, it is time to take shelter. Wait 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder to resume activities. |
