“The most noteworthy thing is that that particular area keeps getting hit. You know in 2018 that Nepean area took a big hit with an EF2 tornado there,” said Dave Sills, executive director of the Northern Tornadoes Project at Western University in London, Ont.

“And then the derecho came through last year and it was right through that similar area, the airport and to the west and east of that. That was serious damage, as you know,” he said Thursday.

The research group sent four members of its team to Ottawa late Thursday. They planned to hit the ground collecting data in Barrhaven very early Friday.

“Their job basically is: How strong? How long? How wide? And also looking to see if there are other trails that happened,” said Sills, who spent 20 years as a tornado investigator with Environment Canada.

They will be flying drones to survey the area to get images that they can compare with radar.

They’re already sure it was a “clear-cut” tornado somewhere above EF0 on the scale from EF0 to EF5.

Sills is part of the team that investigated the 2018 tornado and tied it to damage around Calabogie and White Lake that was not at first recognized as a tornado.

At first the damage path there seemed too wide to be a tornado, “but once we started piecing all of the data together it was like, ‘Wow, this was a wide tornado.’

“So you just don’t know until you piece all of it together, so the whole point of the survey is get all of that information in the field and then synthesize it once we get it all back to the office.”

He said forecasters handled the storm well.

“This is one of those cases where we could see the ingredients coming together a couple of days out and I think forecasters were ready for it. They had tornado watches out in Eastern Ontario and Quebec in anticipation of this event.”
