Wednesday was a wild weather day across parts of Ontario as a line of severe thunderstorms rolled through.

The storms developed late Wednesday afternoon from the Arthur area to Orillia to north of Minden. These thunderstorms tracked eastward and maintained their strength as they passed over the Haliburton area and portions of eastern Ontario, Environment Canada says.

Several photos and videos of the storms were captured showing everything from funnel clouds to waterspouts and tornadoes.

Based on these images as well as eye witness accounts, Environment Canada confirmed Ontario’s twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth tornadoes of the season.

CARNARVON

“Eyewitness accounts, localized damage and photographic evidence were used to confirm a tornado in the Carnarvon area north of Minden,” Environment Canada says.

This tornado has not yet been rated pending a damage investigation that will take place on Friday.
