Tornado touched down in Ontario Sunday: Environment Canada (CP24 Toronto's Breaking News)

An investigation is now underway to determine whether a tornado may have touched down east of Peterborough on Sunday night.

“While crews continue restoration efforts, we anticipate some customers in the hardest hit areas of Brockville and Tweed will be without power overnight.” “There was a long track of damage due to at least one tornado and downburst winds,” the agency said. Environment Canada said that there were widespread reports of damage following the storms, including reports of a flipped trailer in Rockdale, downed trees and hydro wires in Tweed and Madoc and numerous homes damaged in Marmora. “Hydro One crews have been working tirelessly to assess and safely restore power to as many customers as possible after severe thunderstorms rolled through the province on Sunday,” Hydro One said on its website. In the wake of the damage, the municipality of Tweed has formally declared a state of emergency. “It is quite possible we could have had one or two tornadoes, maybe more, this was a particularly long lived rotating thunderstorm that we call a super cell thunderstorm and when you look at the map and the length of time this was a rotating storm, the total distance is an incredible 140 to 150 kilometres from initial reports in the Madoc and Tweed areas all the way to areas northwest of Brockville,” Meteorologist Geoff Coulson told CP24. “It is quite an extensive area of potential damage for the surveyors to look at.”
