| Comments | Southern Ontario, August 2-3, 2015. Southern Ontario was struck by three confirmed tornados, two EF2 tornadoes and an EF1 tornado, along with an EF1 downburst and one other unconfirmed tornado sighting. An EF2 tornado touched down in the small town of Teviotdale located 60 kilometres north of Waterloo and another touched down in Lebanon. Wind gusts were reported between 180 to 220 km/h in some areas. The tornado that struck Lebanon caused only minimal damages, however the tornado in Teviotdale left a nine kilometre trail of damage, which downed power lines, destroyed two homes and damaged several other homes and vehicles. The EF1 tornado in Marsville also caused only minimal damages, mostly to trees. In addition, there was a confirmed EF1 downburst in Utica that caused damages to a local Green Tractors John Deere Dealership as well as an unconfirmed tornado in Proton Station that collapsed a tent sending six people to the hospital. Approximately 50,000 hydro customers (150,000 individuals) in southwest Ontario were left without power due to the severe supercell system that caused the tornadoes to form. Residents in several communities throughout southern Ontario experienced strong winds, rain and hail after the tornadoes touched down as a second system moved into the region later in the evening. |
