Third tornado confirmed during storms on August 24

Not one or two, but three tornadoes touched down during a severe thunderstorm just over a week ago in Windsor-Essex.

The Northern Tornadoes Project confirmed a third twister near Cottam.

It measured EF-1 and had wind speeds of 145 km/h, strong enough to damage several homes and barns, and bring down trees and power lines.

The third tornado started just where a twister in Tecumseh left off.

While investigating the tornado in Tecumseh, researchers found a new damage path that extended northeast.

The tornado in Tecumseh on August 24 measured EF-1 and also had wind speeds of 145 km/h.

One in West Windsor was measured at EF-0 with wind speeds of 125 km/h.
