Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This page lists
tornadoes and tornado outbreaks which have touched down in Canada. On
average, there are around 80 confirmed and unconfirmed tornadoes that
touch down in Canada each year. The most common types are F0 to F2 in
damage intensity level and usually result in minor structural damage to
barns, wood fences, roof shingles, chimneys, uprooted or snapped tree
limbs and downed power lines. Less than 5% of tornadoes in Canada are
rated F3 or higher in intensity, where windspeeds are in excess of 250
km/h. The Enhanced Fujita Scale is used to rate tornado intensity, based
on the damage to buildings and vegetation. Of all the provinces,
Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan average the most tornadoes
per season, around 15, followed by Quebec with less than 10.
