@RoreePayment Glad everyone is okay! Hopefully the turkey survived for another meal 😉

[Matthew @MattStranks]

@WxOntario1 @anders1517 @Thumbelinakim1 Sounds like you both could use some therapy to process your emotions on this before it turns to slander 🤷‍♂️

[Matthew @MattStranks]

@Mofo75ca @IWeatherON Correct; downburst.

[Matthew @MattStranks]

@ReedTimmerUSA @heavydsparks801 may be interested in helping out with this!?

[Matthew @MattStranks]

@JPM_Canada @1Weathercanada Do we have any photos or videos to back this up? This image is from north London which was no where near the confirmed touch down south of London.

[Matthew @MattStranks]

@1Weathercanada @WxOntario1 As you’ll note it doesn’t look anything like the image that was posted which is why we asked for verifying information from the OP who told us their son sent them the photo while he was in the basement with his son and had no way to verify the photo for us.

[Matthew @MattStranks]

@1Weathercanada @WxOntario1 Very good location finding!! Unfortunately, this is a gps verified post of the base of the tornado that hit by Belmont which was also witnessed by someone from NTP from further back and also visited by NTP today as well for preliminary data collection.

@WxOntario1 @Thumbelinakim1 Maybe this will help clear up confusion for you in the future. IW has a publicly listed partnership with NTP which can be found on their website. This is why IW and its team members ask the questions to support their mission.

[Matthew @MattStranks]

@WxOntario1 @1Weathercanada Who do you think the NTP relies on to help sift through the thousands of reports every storm that come in and across multiple provinces I might add?

IW works hand in hand with NTP, it’s why they built the custom software NTP uses for radar verification of tornados.

[Matthew @MattStranks]

@WxOntario1 @Thumbelinakim1 Right… that’s why NTP credited IW instead of you? Im sure that all checks out 🤓

[Matthew @MattStranks]

@WxOntario1 @Thumbelinakim1 You have an ethical obligation to verify the information you share when people turn to you for weather information. To not seek verification of the source of information and past it as truth is a very reckless thing to do.

[Matthew @MattStranks]

@WxOntario1 @Thumbelinakim1 Man… you’re sharing photos around that you can’t even verify, making public posts telling people not to send extra info to people that help verify legitimate vs non legitimate photos for NTP and all for what? What do you gain from this?

[Matthew @MattStranks]

@1Weathercanada This photo is taken in north London not the highway?? How about this angle… where is the solid yellow line that was replaced by a white dash line by the AI? Or where is the license plate on the back of the vehicle in the AI photo? Just a smudge where the plate should be?

[Matthew @MattStranks]

@1Weathercanada Ps this is the only photo of this tornado vs the 5 different angles that exist of the actual tornado that this storm caused… this is currently being assumed to be AI by the professionals that investigate this for a living…

[Matthew @MattStranks]

@WxOntario1 @Thumbelinakim1 Neither of you are in a position to make claims of a tornado when you aren’t able to back it up with more evidence… you being a chaser/someone that people turn to for weather reports should really fact check the info you share before you cause unnecessary panic one day…

[Matthew @MattStranks]

@WxOntario1 @Thumbelinakim1 This is mature to impede a tornado investigation… well played. It’s been noticed.

[Matthew @MattStranks]

@Thumbelinakim1 @AdamWeather0 @IWeatherON So you’re family were in the basement but your son sent you the photo? But you’re not sure who the photo is from? Non of this makes sense??

[Matthew @MattStranks]

@WxOntario1 @NTP_Reports Got an address for these?
