Environment Canada has now added a second tornado to its list this season. The national weather agency says it's likely that damage in the Holmesville area 14 km southeast of Goderich the night of June 22 was caused by a tornado. Meteorologist Geoff Coulson says there were storm spotter reports of a possible tornado around 9:40pm and subsequent investigation showed some minor building, tree and vehicle damage.

There's been just two tornadoes in Ontario so far this year. The province normally confirms 12 each year from late April until early October. Coulson says there's the chance of severe weather Tuesday in Sarnia-Lambton.
