Experts have confirmed a tornado touched down in Deep River, Ont., on the weekend, uprooting trees, causing minor structural damage and even flipping a boat as it blew through town.
The project's storm survey team was dispatched to the community 150 kilometres northwest of downtown Ottawa to confirm reports circulating on social media. David Sills of the Northern Tornadoes Project said Sunday's tornado carved a path one kilometre long and about 130 metres wide. While low on the scale, storms like the one in Deep River can still cause injuries and shouldn't be taken lightly, Sills said.
