Founded in 2017 at Western University with support from ImpactWX.com, NTP aims to detect and document all tornadoes in Canada and uncover Canada’s true tornado climatology. Now part of the Canadian Severe Storms Lab! See uwo.ca/ntp & cssl.ca.
@westernuntp.bsky.socialNote that there was a tornado-warned storm to the northeast of this waterspout, near Huntsville, ON, though there have been no reports of damage received at this time. #ONstorm
