A team with Environment Canada will be heading to the Shelburne area Friday after severe weather caused heavy damage in the region Thursday.
Reports from the area, located approximately 100 kilometres northwest of Toronto, list storm-related damages including a destroyed barn and downed power lines along Highway 10.
The highway is currently closed as crews work to remove debris.
Environment Canada meteorologist Mitch Meredith said that the weather agency’s team will be trying to confirm if a tornado did in fact touch down in the region, as was suggested in preliminary reports from the scene.
In a statement released at 9:30 p.m. Thursday, the Township of Melancthon said that hydro crews are currently working to try and restore power to affected customers in the area.
Reports of property damage can be made by contacting 519-925-5525 during regular business hours Friday.
There are currently no reports of any injuries connected with the storm, Ontario Provincial Police said.
