Environment and Climate Change Canada therefore recommends taking immediate shelter in the event of a threatening weather event – lightning killing and injuring Canadians every year, it says. Hail can damage property and cause injuries and very strong gusts can cause damage (uprooted trees, vehicles blown off the road, etc.), while torrential rain can cause flash flooding and water accumulation on the roads. In the event of a tornado in particular, he recommends sheltering in a solid building, on the lowest floor and staying away from windows and exterior walls.
