Tornado researchers have confirmed that a twister hit an area near Kemptville, Ont., last Sunday.
The tornado emerged when a storm passed through, causing damage to trees and fields, according to Western University's Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP).
A survey found tree damage indicating it reached a maximum wind speed of 115 km/h over a short, narrow path, researchers said.
They estimate that the tornado started at 3:45 p.m. and travelled 1.18 kilometres northeast.
The team gave the event an EF0 rating on the Enhanced Fujita Scale — the lowest category used to classify tornadoes and downbursts. Ratings range from EF0 to EF5.
Environment Canada had issued a yellow-level rainfall warning for eastern Ontario and western Quebec that weekend, warning that between 50 and 100 millimetres of rain could fall.
