Twisters hit Morrisburg, Newington areas Wednesday afternoon
Two weak twisters touched down Wednesday afternoon west of Cornwall, Ont., according to a Western University tornado research group.
The two tornadoes hit Morrisburg, Ont., and an area southwest of Newington, Ont., the Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP) said in a social media post Saturday.
The Morrisburg tornado had an estimated maximum speed of 115 km/h and caused minor damage to a gazebo, a fence and some trees, the group said.
There’s been no evidence yet of any damage in connection with the Newington-area tornado, NTP said. Its estimated wind speed was not announced.
Both tornadoes were classified as EF-0 on the enhanced Fujita scale — the lowest possible rating — although the Newington-area tornado’s classification is a preliminary one.
No injuries have been reported, NTP said.
