A tornado warning had been in effect for the Sarnia-Lambton region, but was dropped at 6:52 p.m. The warning was the second of the day in the county after one issued shortly before 5 p.m. was dropped around 5:20 p.m.
It was nearly two months ago when a severe thunderstorm involving a derecho passed through southern Ontario, spawning two tornadoes in the city within minutes of each other.
No injuries were reported, but the storm caused significant damage and left thousands in the city in the dark for hours, some for days.
