Environment Canada has lifted a tornado warning it issued earlier Tuesday afternoon for parts of Ottawa and communities east of the city.
As of 4:30 p.m., the warning extended roughly from Russell to Hawkesbury. Earlier in the hour, that same warning had briefly covered parts of Ottawa, triggering automatic warnings on people’s mobile phones.
By 5 p.m., no warning was in place.
An area between Russell and Hawkesbury remained under a severe thunderstorm warning for a short while before being lifted too.
