MONTREAL — Researchers say Quebec’s first recorded tornado of 2026 touched down in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region on May 25.
The Northern Tornadoes Project at Western University says the tornado damaged a roof, snapped a tree and toppled a recreational trailer but did not cause injuries.
Researchers say video of the EF0 tornado was captured near St-Thomas-Didyme, Que., about 250 kilometres north of Quebec City.
They say the tornado is classified as “weak” and had an estimated maximum wind speed of 100 km per hour.
