Something in the sky had people in Windsor nervously grabbing their cameras.
The ominous clouds was seen over the south and east ends of the city, just before 4 p.m. on Monday.
Environment Canada had no reports of funnel clouds touching the ground, and it never issued any weather watches or warnings.

"They are harmless as long as they don't touch the ground, and that's what we want to stress, because if they stay aloft, then they are ominous-looking, but they're not really causing impact," she said.
