To the south, the most prolific tornadoes in the Greater Toronto Area in recent memory tore through sections to the north and east of Toronto. An isolated cell produced a tornado that swept across the Royal Riding Academy, in a rural area east of Newmarket. To this storm's west, another tornadic cell developed and ultimately produced the most damaging tornadoes in an urban area of Ontario since the Barrie tornado outbreak of 1985. Although originally thought to be a single tornado, two separate F2 tornadoes struck the city of Vaughan. The first hit the Woodbridge neighbourhood in the city's southwest, traveling for 3.5 km (2.2 mi). The second struck the Maple neighbourhood in the city's northeast, causing a 2.7 km (1.7 mi) path of damage. Both of these tornadoes have been rated F2.[1]
