A team from the Northern Tornadoes Project at Western University in London, Ont., is sifting through damage from Wednesday's storm to determine whether a tornado hit the ground.
A heavy wind and thunderstorm rocked through southwestern Ontario on Wednesday, leaving extensive damage in its wake.
Thursday, a team from the Northern Tornadoes Project at Western University in London, Ont., was dispatched to examine the damage and determine whether a tornado hit the ground.
Sifting through the damage and the data is complicated, said Dave Sills, the executive director for the project.
“We’re trying to put all of this together, trying to figure out exactly what happened,” Sills said.
He described the damage as a “lower end EF1” on the Enhanced Fujita or EF scale of tornado damage.
“We had several barns and outbuildings that were damaged or destroyed, a few homes with shingle damage, trees uprooted and snapped.”
Sills said connecting the dots and determining if a tornado caused damage tends to take a bit of time.
