on_wx Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 EF1 tornado confirmed with a supercell that made landfall at the southern shore of Lake Huron on northeastern Lambton County Sunday evening. The area south of Grand Bend including the Pinery Provincial Park was heavily damaged. At least 1 serious injury. Mitt Romney has a cottage in the area, but news said it wasn't damaged. Campers at The Pinery lost tents and trailers. Local hotels were offering reduced rates for campers, and an emergency shelter was opened at the Grand Bend Legion. Environment Canada did not provide a touchdown time, only stating between 6-7pm, and the tornado warning was issued at 654pm. Local storm chaser eye-witness estimates about 640, so the tornado would fall within 0 minutes lead time on the chart, until proven otherwise. Damage estimates are $30 million from the Angus tornado. Also an EF0 tornado was confirmed by video evidence and tree damage at Bear Lake in the Parry Sound District on June 30th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 The Pinery, I'll have to check the damage, that was a prime camping destination, growing up in my family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 The Pinery, I'll have to check the damage, that was a prime camping destination, growing up in my family. CTV London has a photo gallery of the damage. A window will appear as the page is loading: http://london.ctvnews.ca/photo-galleries/grand-bend-storm-damage-1.1935862 Tornado damage is mostly confined to the area just south of Grand Bend, and wind damage affecting The Pinery. Doesn't look like too many structures were damaged. Apparently the injury was too a woman on the north end of the park who sought shelter under a picnic table. A tree fell on the table and crushed the woman and seriously injured her back, but she's expected to be okay. It's a miracle no one else was injured, especially in a crowded campground and popular tourist destination area. Probably helps the tornado hit on a Sunday evening, and not on a Fri/Sat.

They sent a survey team and that was the last we ever heard of it. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152461632384079 They finally confirmed this as a brief EF0 with no damage. In addition, they also found EF1 tornado damage in Udney east of Orillia from Friday's severe thunderstorms. 2014 is up to 17 confirmed tornadoes. Only 2/17 tornadoes have been tornado warned, both from the same tornadic supercell on June 16th. If my math is correct, the average tornado lead time for 2014 Ontario is 64 seconds.

harrisale Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Guess we had 1 of 19 tornado warned. Environment Canada gets a pretty bad wrap but those are some dismal numbers. Would be worth writing a letter of complaint IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHM Supercell Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Environment Canada gets a pretty bad wrap but those are some dismal numbers. Would be worth writing a letter of complaint IMO. I'll see what they say when I go to a weather discussion at CWTO next week. The unfortunate thing is that quite a few of the tornadoes had good radar presentation with notable couplets on them, even Sheffield had rotation on Exeter.
