Researchers have confirmed at least one tornado struck an area north of Belleville on Sunday evening, Environment Canada says.
Staff from the Northern Tornadoes Project and Western University and Environment Canada determined the long track of damage in the Marmora, Madoc and Actinolite area was “due to at least one tornado and downburst winds,” the weather agency said in an update Tuesday morning.
According to Environment Canada, homes and trees were damaged in areas that include Havelock, Marmora, Madoc and Tweed, which are east of Peterborough and north of Belleville. The municipality of Tweed has declared a state of emergency. A reception centre is open at the Tweed Library at 230 Metcalf St., with bottled water. Power is available.
