Environment Canada says it has now determined two more tornadoes touched down during thunderstorms in central Ontario on Tuesday.
It says an EF-0 tornado with winds between 90 and 130 kilometres an hour uprooted or snapped apart roughly a dozen mature trees and caused minor damage to a barn roof near the community of Elmvale outside Barrie.
The weather service says another EF-0 tornado landed around the nearby community of Dalston, damaging at least 50 trees along with the cap of a farm silo.
The EF or enhanced Fujita scale rates the intensity of tornadoes and damaging winds on a range of zero to five.
Environment Canada earlier confirmed an EF-2 tornado with gusts between 180 and 200 km/h touched down Tuesday in the province's Kawartha Lakes region -- the second tornado of the season.
It has said the first tornado was spotted April 18 in Shelburne.
