Tornado experts have verified that a tornado touched down in a vicinity close to Kemptville, Ontario, on the previous Sunday. The tornado materialized during a storm passage, resulting in damage to nearby trees and fields, as per the findings of Western University’s Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP). An assessment revealed tree damage patterns indicative of a peak wind speed of 115 km/h along a brief, narrow trajectory, as indicated by researchers. They approximated that the tornado initiated at 3:45 p.m. and traversed a distance of 1.18 kilometers towards the northeast. The research team assigned an EF0 rating on the Enhanced Fujita Scale to the incident, which is the least severe category for categorizing tornadoes and downbursts, with ratings spanning from EF0 to EF5. No casualties were documented, according to the NTP. Environment Canada had previously released a yellow-level rainfall alert for eastern Ontario and western Quebec that weekend, cautioning of a forecasted rainfall between 50 and 100 millimeters.
