The tornado touched down near River Rouge, Michigan, then crossed the Detroit River and made landfall in the Brighton Beach neighbourhood of Windsor. It then cut across southern Windsor and northern Sandwich West Township, Ontario (now the Municipality of LaSalle, Ontario), along a path in length. It also cut across Highway 3 before weakening somewhat. The storm then touched down as an F4 again at the modern-day intersection of Walker Road and Grand Marais Road, near the center of the city. == Path of destruction == The tornado took a northeastward path, cutting through farmland and forest, an area with few housing subdivisions (at the time, but still many homes), and narrowly missing Windsor Airport (which was located just south of the tornado), before tearing through the northwest part of the Town of Tecumseh, Ontario and dissipating over Lake St. Clair. The storm's path was roughly wide, and followed Turkey Creek for much of its length after crossing the Detroit River, and travelled 60 km. The storm's damage ranged from F3-F4, to some speculated F5 damage from completely destroyed houses that were lifted off their foundations. Since the tornado had destroyed The Windsor Star's main printing offices, the ''Detroit News'' offered to help them print their newspapers at their printing facilities until the ''Stars were repaired, and even gave the ''Star'' priority so they could report the news of the tornado to the cities of Windsor, Detroit, and the rest of Ontario. The tornado knocked out power to most of the city for about a day, and damaged or destroyed roughly 400 homes in Windsor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1946 Windsor–Tecumseh tornado」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
