File:Possible tornado Oakville.jpg

Where do you see a tornado in this image? There was no such report in Ontario on April 21, 2015. Only a rain shaft is visible in this image.

First of all, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The rain shaft was rotating, giving it the appearance of a heavily rain-wrapped tornado. It occurred northeast of Highway 403 in a forested area, where there were several reports of broken branches and some snapped trees. The tree damage may also have been due to straight-line winds, which were very strong that day. --Anonymous Macaw (talk) 20:02, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Do you have images of the damaged trees? What was the trees' falling shape like? Did trees lay straight in a line or like Mikado sticks? Sturmjäger (talk) 07:32, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
