I heard on the news that there had been a rare tornado in northwestern Ontario last week and emailed Matt to ask if it had been anywhere near where he was located on his bird trip to Whitewater Lake courtesy of Wilderness North. This was his reply:
"We also heard about the tornado (and two Americans who died) in Dryden. That is apparently some distance from here, although still in the 'Northwestern Ontario' area. Dryden is five hours west of Thunder Bay, which is about 3 hours south of base camp in Armstrong."
