It was a wild and woolly evening across Northwestern Ontario last night. A tornado warning was issued in several communities including Fort Frances, Emo, Rainy River and Kenora. Severe winds hit the communities with severe damage reported across the board. Reports of a funnel cloud in the Fort Frances area last night prompted Environment Canada to issue tornado warnings. In Dryden, residents saw the tale end of the storm. The wind knocked down tree branches and the storm dumped 16.2-millimetres, the most in the area.
