Yeah, it's not often we get tornadoes here and they are mostly F0. Last recorded F3 to hit here was a lone tornado in 1994. Mind you, in 2016, my cottage was hit by a microburst (nothing micro about it). I was there that day and one of my
the storm. The 'burst' lasted less than 10 seconds and leveled over 200 trees, many over 100 years old majestic red and white pine trees
On my 1000 feet private road, I counted 88 trees fell across it. Things are becoming worse, not better. We better get use to it unfortunately.
