The Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP) confirmed another tornado that caused damage near Windsor during powerful storms earlier this month.

NTP reports that it happened during a storm on September 3 in the area of River Canard.

The funnel has been rated at EF0 with an estimated maximum wind speed of 125 kilometres an hour.

According to NTP, it tracked a length of 5.10 kilometres with a max width of 200 metres.

On September 20, a ground survey took place where it was noted that the tornado damaged the roofs of several homes, some trees, and left a leaning power pole.

This was the second confirmed tornado in Windsor-Essex from the September 3 storm, while NTP also confirmed a downburst in Wheatley.
