In a tweet, Western University's Northern Tornadoes Project said the May 21 tornado in Uxbridge was the first wind event in Canada to cause EF2 damage in 2022.
“Damaging wind gusts were reported over a large swath of Southern Ontario as the severe thunderstorms raced through,” Environment Canada said. “After a preliminary analysis of the extensive damage in Uxbridge, Ontario, Western University's Northern Tornadoes Project Team has officially confirmed an EF2 tornado was embedded within the leading edge of the derecho.”
“We still issued a severe thunderstorm warning, but what really prompted us to make sure that those severe thunderstorm warnings were part of Alert Ready was when we saw the wind gusts at the Kitchener Waterloo Airport; 132 kilometers per hour. At that wind speed up to 20 per cent of your shingles could be gone.”“When we look at the wind speeds at 12:52 that day Saturday, Pearson reported gusts of 72 kilometres per hour — it’s a windy day. By 1 p.m., 120 kilometers per hour.
