An EF0 tornado with a maximum wind speed of 125 kilometres per hour touched down in Wyoming during a brief supercell thunderstorm last week.
The Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP) released its findings from the July 19 storm on Tuesday.
A survey team was in the area to collect data and a drone survey was completed on Thursday, July 21.
No injuries were reported, however, there was structural and tree damage in the area. The NTP said the worst damage recorded in Wyoming was the collapse of an open-construction barn.
A report said the track of damage was 2.1 kilometres in length with a maximum path width of 200 metres.
Environment Canada Warning Preparedness Meteorologist Geoff Coulson previously said winds from a tornado tend to be very violent but narrow and concentrated. Whereas a downburst, as identified in Thedford during a storm on Wednesday, July 20, tends to have a broad damage area.
Lots to report on lately - this event goes back one week.
