Tornado confirmed north of Lucan, more investigations Tuesday

Teams from Western University's Northern Tornadoes Project will be back on the ground in the Exeter area to investigate damage from Sunday's storms.

The group confirmed late Monday that tornadoes did touch down north of Lucan and in Belmont, south of London.

A third twister from the Sunday storms in Beachville was confirmed by the team Tuesday afternoon. The team made the determination after spending the day examining the destruction path in those two areas.

There was also a lot of damage in the Blyth and Brussels area. Thousands were left without power and due to the widespread damage, hydro workers were out for two days clearing debris and fixing lines.

A waterspout was sighted north of Sarnia over Lake Huron, according to officials with Environment Canada.
