Two more tornadoes are confirmed to have touched down in eastern Ontario last Thursday during the storm that brought tornadoes to Barrhaven.
Western University's Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP) is reporting tornadoes in Embrun, Ont. and Fournier, Ont., both east of Ottawa.
"NTP investigations have determined that two weak tornadoes occurred in eastern Ontario on July 13, in addition to the Ottawa EF1 tornadoes that were previously confirmed," a post on the NTP's blog said.
The tornadoes were classified as EF0, weaker than the ones that hit Ottawa. Researchers found a narrow track of tree damage and minor roof damage to several homes in Embrun and witnesses had taken pictures of a funnel cloud. It's estimated the tornado had a maximum wind speeds of 125 km/h, and carved a path of damage 1.14 km long and 80 m wide.
The tornado in the Fournier area did damage to trees and crops, cutting a path of damage that was 9.62 km long and 510 m wide. Maximum wind speed was estimated at 115 km/h.
