A Tornado Was Just Confirmed In Ontario & It's Unusual For This Time Of Year

There have been quite a few tornadoes in Ontario this year and the latest one that was just confirmed happened unusually late.

A damage survey was done in Georgetown, a community in Halton Hills, by the Northern Tornadoes Project and it confirmed that a tornado happened on November 15.

In Ontario, tornadoes usually happen between May and September so having one touched down recently is pretty rare for this time of the year.
