High winds are knocking down trees, powerlines, and throwing around debris from buildings and yards — keeping emergency responders busy.
A wind warning and blowing snow advisory remains in effect for Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent.
The Essex Regional Conservation Authority's Tim Byrne says winds are averaging more than 65 Km/h with gusts recorded in excess of 95 Km/h in several parts of Windsor-Essex.
Trees split by the wind fell on powerlines in Sandwich Town and in Walkerville.
Tecumseh Fire Services took to social media to remind residents of the dangers surrounding downed power lines.
Chief Doug Pitre tells AM800 News to stay at least 10-m back and call 911 and, if a line falls on your car, do not exit the vehicle.
Pitre says call non-emergency numbers for situations where there's no immediate-danger from fallen trees, but, if the public is uncertain in any way, they should call 911.
Winds are expected to die down into the day Monday.
