Amateur tornado enthusiasts and professional climate researchers alike now have an easier way to pour over decades of Canadian tornado data, thanks to the London, Ont.-based Northern Tornadoes Project.A tornado on the ground near Blaine Lake in central Saskatchewan in July 2022. The London, Ont.-based Northern Tornadoes Project has unveiled an advanced online dashboard that allows users to view and dissect detailed tornado data in Canada.
Data presented in the new dashboard is the result of several years of work by NTP team members, who scrutinized old satellite imagery, climate data, newspaper reports, and other resources to examine past tornadoes and identify any new ones.Researchers confirmed over 250 previously undocumented tornadoes across the country for the 43 years starting in 1980, a vast majority of them in Ontario and Quebec, Sills said.
The work also led to the review of established tornado events, including a 2006 one that hit Argyle, N.B. After reviewing new evidence, the team upgraded the twister from F-1 strength to F-2, and located the path of a second F-2 tornado — which hadn't been documented — to the east.The new advanced dashboard includes enhanced path detail for a number of tornadoes, including the EF-5 twister that hit Elie, Man., in 2007. Path data for more tornadoes will be added in the future.
