NTP confirms EF0 tornado near Mooretown

Western University's Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP) has confirmed the presence of an EF0 tornado in St. Clair Township on August 29.

The NTP said the findings were the result of a ground survey conducted in Payne, ON, which is just east of Mooretown.

The tornado caused damage to nearby barns and trees, but no injuries were reported.

An NTP ground/drone survey was completed on September 1, where surveyors also found a narrow swath of crop damage along the track of reported structural and tree damage.

Damage was assessed as an EF0 tornado, with an estimated maximum wind speed of 125 km/h, track length of 4.58 km and maximum path width of 250 m.
