A tornado touched town in Huron County last month, the second confirmed twister in Ontario in 2015.
The tornado hit Holmesville, Ont. on June 22 at approximately 9:40 p.m., according to Environment Canada. The rural area is approximately 90 kilometres north of London.
The weather agency said in a statement on Monday that early damage reports suggested a tornado may have passed through the area. Officials were called to investigate, and found that some minor building, tree and vehicle damage had occurred in the area where the tornado was reported.
An exact path of the tornado could not be determined, but investigators determined that some objects were moved in different directions. Based on the evidence, the storm was classified as a tornado, the statement said.
The tornado has been rated as a zero on the Enhanced Fujita scale (EF0), considered relatively minor. Peak winds reached a range of 90 to 130 km/h, Environment Canada said.
The Holmesville tornado is the second reported in the province this year, following an EF1 tornado between the communities of Thorndale and Bryanston on May 31.
Last year, 19 tornadoes were reported in Ontario, but the province typically sees an average of 12 tornadoes each year.
