Clean up ensues following southern Ontario storms

A series of storms, including two tornadoes, recently wreaked havoc on southern Ontario destroying homes, flipping cars, downing power lines and more. Environment Canada reports the F-2 (a “Strong” rating on the Fujita scale) tornadoes traveled with winds ranging between 180 and 240 km/hr, cutting a 300m wide perimeter of destruction per tornado.In response to the storms, Fergus ON declared a state of emergency, and although extensive damage was incurred, no deaths or injuries were reported. Toronto also experienced severe storms but no tornadoes, however localized flash floods caused great damage paralyzing the city’s main transit routes and flooding cars, necessitating emergency clean up crews.The severe weather began in Milverton, ON due to humid and unstable weather and moved east to Fergus. Cleanup crews, including claims adjusters such as Cunningham Lindsey Canada, responded to the series of severe storms. “The intensity of the storm activity took us by surprise, but we were able to respond to the crisis by immediately deploying trained staff across southern Ontario,” Lorri Frederick, senior vice president, central region operations, Cunningham Lindsey Canada. ” Our 24/7-call centre took in almost 1,000 emergency calls and our property adjusters worked around the clock the entire weekend assessing damage caused by the severe weather.”
