ONTARIO
AWCN10 CWTOWeather summary for Ontario and the National Capital Region issued by Environment Canada at 3:06 p.m. EDT Tuesday 11 July 2017. Discussion. On July 6th, a particularly dangerous thunderstorm that developed over Quetico Provincial Park in Northwestern Ontario intensified as it travelled southeastward. A tornado warning was issued at approximately 3:40 PM EDT based on radar imagery. The next day, aerial reconnaissance by the Provincial Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry showed a damage path about 100 metres wide and up to 2 km in length across Ottertrack Lake in the extreme southeastern part of the park which is located near the United States border. Most trees were flattened along this damage path. As a result of the length of the track and the dispersion in tree damage orientation, Environment Canada has concluded that the damage was the result of a tornado with peak winds up to 190 km/h. This is rated as an EF2 on the Fujita scale. Please note that this summary may contain preliminary or unofficial information and does not constitute a complete or final report. End/OSPC
