November Tornado Touches Down In Ontario’s Fergus Area

Tornado Touches Down In Fergus Area

A relatively rare November tornado made landfall in Ontario’s Fergus area, the first of its kind in nearly 20 years. Touched down near the Township of Guelph-Eramosa on Sunday evening as reported by Environment Canada, the tornado caused damage to homes and businesses in the area.

Damage Assessment Still Underway

The full extent of the damage is still being assessed, but reports indicate that several homes and businesses sustained damage to their roofs, siding, and windows. No injuries have been reported, but some residents have been displaced from their homes due to the damage.

Environment Canada has issued a tornado warning for the area, urging residents to take shelter immediately if they see a tornado or receive an alert. The tornado warning has since been lifted, but residents are advised to remain cautious and be prepared for further severe weather.

The tornado is a reminder that severe weather can occur any time of year, even in November. Residents are urged to have a plan in place in case of severe weather and to stay informed about weather forecasts and warnings.
