Second of three tornadoes to touch down around Harrow smashes greenhouses, farms


This tornado, the second of four, touched down in a rural area between the towns of Harrow and Colchester. Early in its path it swept across Dunn Road where trees were uprooted and snapped at their bases, and one mature hickory tree was twisted and toppled. It travelled to the southeast through adjacent fields and then caused extensive F1 damage to a property as to crossed Erie Road South. There, a barn collapsed and a large steel machine shed was picked up and deposited over 100m away, with lumber and debris from the destroyed buildings scattered through the property. The tornado dissipated in a field southeast of there, having travelled for nearly 2km along a path that was 190m wide.

The other tornadoes that occurred during the event included an F0 southwest of Harrow, another F2 southeast of Harrow, and a very damaging F1 tornado that struck Leamington.
