Tornadoes Reported as Storms Hit Ontario


“Severe weather is sweeping across southern and central Ontario, leading to at least one reported death on Wednesday and spawning several tornado reports.

A possible tornado hit near Minden Hills, a local politician said.

Deputy Reeve Cheryl Murdoch said something ‘like a tornado’ touched down at approximately 2:30 p.m. ET, with authorities saying the mobile home park Hunter Creek Estates near Highway 35 sustained the most damage. Local reports said trees were uprooted.

A local fire chief said there are reports of one man injured so far with a broken leg.

Minden Hills is about 200 km northeast of Toronto.

Local reports also say a pilot was killed when a gust of wind flipped over a float plane on Balsam Lake, about 150 km northeast of Toronto.

Heavy storms have hit throughout the province, and CBC weather specialist Jay Scotland said he’d heard eyewitness reports of possible tornadoes near Kirkfield and another near Orillia.” Read more.
