The first confirmed twister touched down over Lake Huron southwest of Goderich at around 6:30 p.m. as a long-lived supercell thunderstorm was over the body of water.

There was no damage reported, and the NTP says it did not find any along the shoreline either. The twister has been assigned a default EF0 rating by the NTP.

As the storm continued to move across the area, a second tornado touched down at Potter’s Hill around 25 minutes later.

The tornado left behind damage to a barn and as well as a second building and damaged trees but no injuries were reported. The NTP says the damage was consistent with winds of 125 kilometres per hour, which gave the twister an EF0 rating.

Finally, the same storm system spawned a third twister near Harlock, which the NTP estimates reached speeds of 90 km/h, giving it a rating of EF0. There were some trees damaged but no injuries.
