WATCH: Tesla camera captures tornado ripping through Uxbridge

The cleanup continues after a violent, destructive storm made its way across southern Ontario last weekend leaving a trail of damage.

Video from a Toronto resident’s parked Tesla catches the moment an EF-2  tornado ripped through the town of uxbridge on Saturday afternoon.

The cameras on the vehicle capture the intense wind from the storm ripping down trees, buildings, and causing extensive damage to vehicles in the area.

The owner of the vehicle tells CityNews he was inside a brewery in Uxbridge when the tornado touched down.

“I was inside Second Wedge Brewery when the tornado hit and the roof flew off,” says Chris Kreasul. “That’s where the car is parked.”

The video shot from different angles lasts all of two minutes and starts calm as wind and rain slowly gather in intensity. About half way through the wind gusts begin to knock over trees, rip down structures, and blow out the windows of other parked vehicles.

The parked Tesla that captured the storm is visible from drone footage posted to social media. The drone footage shows the aftermath of the storm and clearly shows the brewery with a large portion of its roof missing.

Kreasul says he managed to escape the storm with only minor injuries.

Environment Canada confirmed to CityNews that the tornado touched down in Uxbridge on Saturday after the fast-moving storm caused carnage across southern Ontario.

The Northern Tornadoes Project has said preliminary results showed a long narrow path of enhanced damage was 4.26 km in length and 260 metres wide with a speed of 195 km/h.

At least ten people died and three communities, including Uxbridge, declared states of emergency after the storm brought down trees, power lines, and damaged property across the province. The storm led to more than 1,400 broken poles, 300 broken cross arms, and nearly 200 damaged transformers.

Hundreds of thousands were left without power in the wake of the storm. Hydro One says they have restored power to nearly everyone impacted and the utility company expects power to be restored to 99 per cent of people by Friday evening.

The storm prompted Environment Canada to issue an emergency alert to the cellphone network for a thunderstorm for the first time.
