What Kind of Storm Hit Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park?

What hit Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park wasn’t a tornado. It was something else...In this eye-opening episode of Echo Essentials, Chris Piekarski sits down for a call with Dr. David Sills, Director of the Northern Tornadoes Project, to talk about the storm that devastated part of Highway 17 East of North Bay, and how his team investigates extreme weather events across Ontario and Canada.Dr. Sills also discusses how how downbursts differ from tornadoes, the science behind tree patterns, drone mapping, and the real reason why Ontario (not the Prairies) is now Canada's tornado hotspot. Chris also inquires if there is a direct correlation to the surge in storms in the province and climate change.
