Tornadoes in Ontario: Tornadoes reported across Ontario

I was driving in it tonight It hit just as my friend and I left a store. Driving down the street there were branches flying and landing on the road, heavy rain, lightening striking close by and a lot of it. The wind was very strong too.

When I got my car parked I went to call my mom to say I was almost home and I was safe. I accidently called my friend and my friend said "Get inside NOW, we are under a tornado warning and there are tornados on the ground in many places around" I got my emergency rain poncho and left everything else in my car and ran home.
