Description
Portion of damage track investigated by Gee and Findlay (see AES report) in the Elliot Lake to Western Sudbury County area. Noted that 80-90% of the trees in the damage track north of Massey were flattened. No evidence of damage was observed directly west of Batty Lake or East of Savage Lake, therefore identified as a separate tornado as opposed to the idea that a single tornado tracked from east of Sault Ste. Marie to the Quebec border.
