Funnel clouds spotted, but no damage

Environment Canada says funnel clouds spotted over Waterloo and Wellington counties Monday evening did not cause any damage.

The agency’s Geoff Coulson says weak funnel clouds formed after a meeting of lake breezes from Lakes Ontario, Erie and Huron.

Coulson says there’s no evidence the funnel clouds reached the ground.

He says the system was not associated with severe weather such as thunderstorms.

Environment Canada issued a special weather statement Monday to let people know about the funnel clouds, and advise they were not expected to become tornadoes.

Several people took the opportunity to take videos and pictures of the funnel clouds.
