Tornado experts credit average Canadians for helping them gather data in 2020 (CBC)
January 17, 2021
COVID-19 restrictions made it a bit more challenging for experts to survey the damage at the site of every twister that touched Canadian soil in 2020, but researchers from Western University in London, Ont., say they were still able to get the job done, partly thanks to the average Canadian. "We developed our own twitter hashtag and people started to use it and when people would see things they would tell us about it and send us photographs that helped us when finding satellite imagery." said Greg Kopp, the lead researcher with Western University's Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP) and ImpactWX chair in severe storms engineering.
Add tornado uptick to things we won't miss about 2020: Local researchers (The Londoner)
The Londoner , January 14, 2021As if 2020 wasn’t bad enough with a global pandemic, we can add tornadoes to the list of things we won’t miss about the year. Western University’s Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP) has identified 77 tornadoes that ripped across Canada in 2020, a 166-per-cent increase over what was thought to be the tornado count last year, the university said Wednesday.

Western University’s Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP) confirmed 77 tornadoes across the country last year. The team’s work increased the number of twisters originally believed to have touched down in 2020 by 166 per cent, the university said. More than 409 investigations were conducted by NTP throughout the year, despite COVID-19 restrictions which made physically traveling to the affected areas difficult.
