Research teams from the Northern Tornadoes Project at Western University confirmed the finding Thursday afternoon, about 24 hours after severe weather moved through the area. They said the damage is still being assessed. Investigators were also in southwest Ottawa on Thursday to investigate damage caused by a “supercell/funnel cloud” during the severe weather. They followed the damage discovered by storm chaser Connor Mockett, who tweeted photos of damage to a property on Franktown Road, just east of Dwyer Hill Road and Riverbend Golf Course in Richmond. Search teams are also examining damage near Peterborough and Kingston. “New storm damage spotted by @ConnorMockettWX in the Franktown area associated with yesterday’s supercell/funnel cloud has now been added to the top of the survey list for the NTP team on its way to eastern Ontario,” the Northern Tornadoes Project said. A tornado warning was briefly issued for areas south of Ottawa during dinner Wednesday as storms swept through the area. The tornado warning extended from Kemptville to Merrickville-Wolford, Richmond and Metcalfe. CTV News viewers in Ottawa reported hail in the Eganville area. The storm brought heavy rain, hail and what appeared to be a funnel cloud to areas south of Ottawa. CTV News viewers in Ottawa shared video of a funnel-shaped cloud moving through the Ashton area. “It was pretty dramatic,” Dee Murphy Brown said. “We lost our barbecue, our neighbors lost their play structure. We backed into a large horse farm and apparently one of the buildings had come down as well.” Damage was also reported near Brighton in Quinte West. No power outages were reported in eastern Ontario Thursday morning. Hydro Ottawa had reported 3,500 customers without power Wednesday.
