Striking near the village of Mildmay and travelling to the east, this tornado significantly damaged one home and two barns. Its path was 2 km long and 150m wide, along which one well-built house had its roof partially torn off, as well as windows blown out and siding torn away. Two barns were also damaged or destroyed, and a number of trees snapped and uprooted.
Figure 1 depicts the surface observations at 8:00 pm EDT, which shows a cold front moving across Lake Huron and southwestern Ontario. This front was the focus for intense thunderstorms in the evening hours of May 13th, which ultimately led to this tornado.
