Heavy Rain Warning

CTV.ca

Environment Canada has issued a heavy rain warning for Kemptville and eastern Ontario. Very slow moving south to north thunderstorms along the 416 corridor have been dumping torrential rain over the region for the last two hours. Already over 25mm has fallen in Kemptville, causing flooding on many roads. Another 25mm can be expected in the next few hours.

• A waterspout or tornado over water occurred on the St. Lawrence River in Montreal today (SEE ABOVE). The photo above was taken near the Port of Montreal. The storm produced 60-100km/h winds but caused no damage or injuries. They are very rare in Montreal and far more common over the Great Lakes.
