Tornado?
I have no experience with tornados at all, that is until 2 weeks ago. It was definitely the worst storm i have ever witnessed. The winds were well over 100 mph and sounded like a deep constant thunder noise that didn't quite just got louder. We huddled in the basement hoping the roof would stay on. This went on for sometime, once it tapered off i went to look if we still had a house and yard. The mess was horrible, huge trees twisted off right behind the house, 20 ft high! Shingles torn off and yard furniture/tools everywhere. 1boat got tossed around the opostite way but no damage. Mostly trees twisted and tossed around and behold not a building nor equipment was harmed. Just about 50 trees that have to be cleaned up. It is sad to see those old 100 ft maples and ash destroyed. I think i bunred out a chainsaw this week cleaning them up.
So, i think it was a tornado because all the trees are twisted clockwise 20 ft up. What kind of wind would twist big mature trees? I would guess spinning winds? Maybe not, but i hope i never see another!
Nobody was hurt and i am thankful for that, we were very scared as there is nothing a man can do against nature if it gets bad enough.
So fire, floods and winds, we have had our share of the elements!

Avoid Toronto airport if you are flying to Canada! Especially avoid Air Canada.
They are not hunter freindly.
