TL;DR Summary
A tornado swept through the town of Uxbridge Ontario last week. What does this data say?
Does anyone have a clue what the gold points and associated lines represent?

I notice that all the gold lines form closed loops (so they're not travel paths) and they cross themselves (so they're not contours).

I can't think of any type of data that would result in this.

I've tried to follow up but I can't decipher the Twitterverse.

The blue dots apparently represent images taken from a drone.
Additional photos collected via drone for the May 21, 2022, Uxbridge, ON event. Ground survey conducted May 22, 2022.
But the path/file seem to be to the individual's computer.

In hindsight, I can see that several of closed loops have one leg that is long and straight. A drone racing home for 'Mission Completed' treats.
