In addition to the tornado watches, severe thunderstorm watches have been put in place for areas such as Sudbury, North Bay, and Timmins, among others. With nature’s fury lurking just around the corner, it is imperative for residents to stay vigilant and keep an eye on their mobile devices and local media for any emergency warnings that may come their way.
