Description
According to map coordinates, tornado touched down on Puslinch Lake and tracked east for 20km before dissipating just to the west of Highway 6 in Freelton. A witness said it had “the sound of a train passing over a trestle bridge” as it passed. Another, (or possibly same witness) saw the black funnel from her kitchen window bearing down on her. She said it had trees whirling in it.
A letter to the weather office from a Mrs. Martin Paddock, was photocopied and is partially illegible but seems to contain good information.
