COLLINGWOOD, Ont. – An inspector from Environment Canada is in central Ontario to inspect damage from Monday’s severe weather to see if any of it was caused by a tornado.
Meteorologist Geoff Coulson says the path of a tornado is narrow and long compared to the path of straight-line wind damage, which is generally wider and shorter.
Besides downed trees and hydro lines, the roof was torn off a Mister Transmission shop in Collingwood, Ont.
Several people were inside even though the shop was closed, but no one was injured.
