About: Southern Ontario tornado outbreak of 2005

An Entity of Type: SpatialThing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Southern Ontario tornado outbreak of 2005 was a series of thunderstorms on the afternoon of August 19, 2005, that spawned tornadoes damaging homes in the Conestoga Lake, Fergus, and Tavistock areas. A tornado was reported within the Toronto city limits, although this was never officially confirmed by the Meteorological Service of Canada. The storms morphed into heavy rain cells when reaching Toronto. The Insurance Bureau of Canada has estimated that insured losses were the highest in the province's history, exceeding 500 million Canadian dollars, two and a half times that of Ontario's losses during the 1998 ice storm and the second largest loss event in Canadian history until another event of torrential rain of July 8, 2013 (1 billion CAD).

  • L’éruption de tornades d'août 2005 en Ontario est une série de tornades ayant fait des dégâts dans les zones de Conestoga Lake, Fergus, et Tavistock à l'ouest de Toronto, Ontario, au Canada. Elle fut causée par un système orageux bien organisé l'après-midi du 19 août 2005. Les orages se sont transformés en cellules de fortes pluies en atteignant Toronto bien qu'une tornade ait aussi été signalée dans les limites de la ville sans jamais être confirmée officiellement par le Service météorologique du Canada. Le Bureau d'assurance du Canada a estimé que les pertes assurées étaient les plus élevés dans l'histoire de la province, plus de 500 millions de dollars canadiens, deux fois et demie celle des pertes en l'Ontario lors du verglas massif de janvier 1998, et le deuxième plus grand événement de perte matériel dans l'histoire canadienne (500 millions CAD) jusqu'à un autre événement de pluie abondante le 8 juillet 2013 (1 milliard CAD).
