A Tornado near Niagara Falls
Description
This tornado touched down near Niagara Falls, which is unusual at the time, though may become more common with climate change. The tornado was violent enough to twist large trees, making it significantly intense. Many buildings are described as being unroofed and destroyed, amounting to about $20,000 in damages from possible loadpath failures. It is later on described how two individuals who did not have adequate shelter were injured, one of them fatally, due to the tornado collapsing their structure. Meanwhile, a suspension bridge being constructed survives the winds even as the tornado blew away the workers; crazy, right?
