One person is dead after a tornado reportedly touched down in southwestern Ontario.

Environment Canada is warning that the same storm cell has hit the Toronto area and has put the GTA, including the city of Toronto, under a tornado warning.

The OPP have confirmed there is at least one fatality after strong winds and storms blasted through the town of Durham, 50 km south of Owen Sound, this afternoon

Insane, hopefully everyone here is alright.

I drove through it in Toronto. Crazy winds. Tons of lightning. It was nearly impossible to drive, and the car was lifted up pretty good at one point.
