Significant Tornado Events

Also, I just discovered that there's apparently a huge trove of photo negatives from all around the Grand Valley/Orangeville area at Waterloo University, including a large collection of aerial shots. I reached out to them this morning but haven't heard back yet. Hopefully I don't have to be there in person and/or pay a ton of money to get my hands on them.

Did you ever get those photos from Grand Valley? I know exactly what you’re talking about because I reached out to them too over this summer and I was told I would have to wait 3 weeks for them to be sent to me which I couldn’t accept because I was moving around that same time. I don’t remember if they were able to digitize them or not but I remember being close to getting them. On a side note there are multiple archive websites like the university of Waterloo archive that has plenty of tornado damage photos that haven’t been digitized. Saskatchewan has one and they supposedly have photos from a tornado in July of 1935 which I got excited about because they could be of the Benson, Saskatchewan F4 (possibly F5) which doesn’t have any known photographs. These images could feed families if they were digitized but they don’t have a reason to do so unless they get paid for it which the Canadian government won’t do (not to get political). basically there are thousands of Canadian tornado damage photos out there that aren’t accessible unless you buy them
