POSSIBLE/CONFIRMED TORNADOS: 22
These records are based on official Env.Canada
confirmations and eye-witness accounts from newspapers and TV (since it
is not possible for Env.Can. to confirm all of them). Tornados listed
in RED have
been confirmed by Environment Canada. This is by NO MEANS an official list
- it's just what I've been able to keep track of. (Thanks to Travis Farncombe
and others on the wx-chase-can list for some of these!)
