A team of tornado experts is heading to Fergus after a storm ripped through the area Sunday night.
Rain lashed the Waterloo Region and Guelph around 10 p.m.
Some residents living in the Fergus area reported localized damage, including downed trees.
In a social media post Monday morning, Northern Tornadoes Project confirmed a survey team is heading to Fergus to investigate “potentially tornadic damage” that occurred Sunday night.
The latest investigation comes just months after a Northern Tornadoes Project team confirmed a tornado hit the community of Ayr in August. Initially investigators believed the storm was an EF1, but it was upgraded to an EF2 storm after researchers reviewed further evidence,
The EF designation comes from the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which assigns ratings based on estimated wind speeds and damage. The rating system goes from EF0, the least severe, to EF5.
