Northern Tornadoes Project dispatches team to assess Wednesday’s storm damage
From here, Sills said the next step is to look at high-resolution satellite imagery. He added this can help get a bigger picture of the area. Putting that with the data researchers collect from the ground can help make more sense of it.
The tornado siren at Western University could be heard on Wednesday, alerting people in the area. But there are a few things that go into a siren alarm. “There was a tornado watch issued first. And that’s because the conditions were looking pretty good for a line of tornadic storms to come through. Once they started crossing the lake and getting into our area, there were areas of rotation on radar. That’s what prompted the tornado warnings and that’s great because you want people to have lead time before the tornado gets to them.”“There was an upper low-pressure system that came from Alberta and just slowly drifted right across to us.
Godwin said he waited about 10 minutes for the storm to pass. When he continued to drive, he found a lot of damage. “Large trees were snapped in half and a number of barns damaged, with a few smaller ones destroyed,” he said. “There was also quite a large amount of crop damage.”The Northern Tornadoes Project team will continue investigating to determine if a tornado touched down.
