- On the warm late spring day of May 31, 1985, one of the largest and most damaging tornado outbreaks in Ontario’s history hit the province. All total, 13 separate tornadoes, with two of them killers (rated at F4 on the Fujita Scale), crossed southern Ontario during the late afternoon and early evening hours that day – several people died, hundreds more were injured, and with many millions of dollars in damage for the province of Ontario alone. One of the tornadoes devastated the city of Barrie, nestled at the far western edge of Kempenfelt Bay, on Lake Simcoe. Another, equally devastating tornado farther south tore a path over 100 kilometres long, parallel and north of Highway 9, passing through several towns in the process. This unprecedented outbreak was part of a larger one in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Several of those tornadoes were violent as well. Conditions were perfect for such a major late spring tornado outbreak that May 31st, which later became known as “Black Friday”.
