I believe Western University in London has their own sirens on campus but besides that there’s none setup by the government. 🥹
They also aren’t audible very far and are more for campus related warnings.
Minden Hills has been under a state of emergency since Tuesday. Flooding has made it into people's homes, shut down roads and prompted the town to turn its local arena and community space into an evacuation centre. #ONstorm #ONwx www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

Nice graupel shower in NW Londontario. Temperature near 7C so graupel lasted only minutes. #ONstorm #LdnOnt
Automated system for description and I think it's outdated too cause didn't they delete their ECCCWeather accounts on that platform just near the end of last year for no apparent reason?
Canada decided to join its southern neighbours by adopting the EF scale on April 18, 2013, making the Sherburne, Ont., tornado the first one that was measured with the new measurement methodology. #ThisDayInWeatherHistory #ONstorm

It's a soaker for southern Ontario. It's on track to be at or a bit above average for April rainfall. #onwx
Gotta show the public somehow that we're 30 years behind not 40 years behind! 😂 😬😅
A Special Weather Statement for more rain later tonight through Thursday for Ottawa. #ONStorm

I believe that tornado warning for Windsor might have been Environment Canada’s first-ever ‘Red Warning’. Which, while interesting, is something that IMHO breaks the logic of the new system ie. every tornado warning is a Red Warning, no matter the expected impact or confidence.
Hope she's doing better! ❤️

I feel like a "Tornado Warning (Yellow)" with impact level set to "high" and confidence level set to "medium" would be more warranted for that scenario and not a "Tornado Warning (Red)" that maxes out both impact & confidence levels. I'd expect that on a spotter or radar confirmed violent couplet...
Here's their description of "Impact" & "Confidence" levels btw:
Now say we have a QLCS spinup couplet coming through that is radar indicated, no CC drop (no debris detected on radar), and no spotter reports to confirm it's on the ground...
Their outlooks have the same impact vs confidence as they put in their colour coded warnings. If we went off of that alone then you can see how exceptionally rare a "extreme" impact matched with "very high" confidence is for outlooks alone but for tornado warnings? Crazy to be that high of impact-
Then this new system comes along and the first "tornado warning (red)" of the year gets issued with "Extreme" impact mentioned for a qlcs spinup's couplet? Idk anymore-
So genuinely lost.....
Doesn't help that almost every tornado warning we had last year always had the same "damaging tornado" description and "life-threatening situation" mentions that made every warning in the past feel like it was a PDS tornado warning when in reality it wasn't.
What confused me further was the "Extreme" impact tag.... It was a QLCS spinup (if it was even on the ground at that point). Though it's better to warn it rather than to not warn I don't understand how it wasn't like... "High" impact level and "High" confidence level vs whatever the heck that was-
Oh ya one of those
Severe storm potential continues for southern Ontario on Wednesday, following 2026’s first tornado warning.

That early Wednesday line of storms certainly packed a punch (mainly for OH/MI state line counties)! Here was Joshua Bridges' ominous view as the tempest trekked into Sylvania.
