The NTP has confirmed 11 new ON tornadoes based on AI-assisted satellite review. All caused EF1-EF2 tree damage.

These are in addition to 5 tornadoes already confirmed in ON via AI-assisted satellite review. All sectors in Ontario have now been reviewed.

Did radaromega add canadian weather alerts like less than 2 weeks before the weather alert system is supposed to change

The NTP has confirmed nine new Quebec tornadoes for 2025 based on our end-of-season satellite review, assisted by an AI detection algorithm. The damage in each case was only to trees, with one tornado rated EF2 and eight rated EF1.

Amazing work by Ontario's own Dr. Connell Miller of NTP!
Excited to announce that my method for estimating wind speeds based on lofted debris in tornadoes was used as contextual evidence for upgrading the Enderlin, ND tornado to an EF5!

The CSSL/NTP assisted the US National Weather Service (NWS) with their upgrading of the official rating of the June 2025 Enderlin, ND tornado from EF3 to EF5.

Announced by the NWS today, it’s the first EF5-rated tornado in the US since 2013.

I've created a Bluesky Starter Pack called 'Canadian Severe Storms Community'. Makes it easy to find and follow severe storm forecasters, researchers, chasers and enthusiasts in Canada!

The first forested area to be searched with NTP's new AI tool - Northern Ontario east of Lake Superior - turned up five tornadoes, including one rated EF2. These were all manually verified and documented.

New paper alert!

"Multi-Level In-Situ Measurements During a Direct Hit by a Significant Tornado" in A-O.

Observations from a 2010 F2 tornado at a Harrow, ON-area wind farm show that peak winds do increase closer to the ground, supporting DOW radar measurements/analysis.
