While there are no tornado watches or warnings in place, every severe storm is capable of producing a tornado.

"Be prepared for severe weather," Environment Canada says in a statement.

"Take cover immediately, if threatening weather approaches. Stay indoors when a thunderstorm strikes. There isn't a place outside that is safe during a thunderstorm."
