Funnel clouds are typically formed by a weak rotation beneath rapidly growing clouds or during weak thunderstorms. If these funnel clouds do develop into landspout tornadoes, they usually do not cause significant damage. However, it is crucial to note that they can still be hazardous. Landspout tornadoes have the potential to uproot trees, damage roofs, and propel debris over short distances, posing risks to people and property.

Environment Canada advises residents in the affected areas to remain alert and stay informed about weather updates. Taking necessary precautions and following safety guidelines can help mitigate any potential risks associated with funnel clouds or landspout tornadoes.
