What do the gold loops and points represent in tornado path visualizations?

TL;DR

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.

I have a plausible explanation.

It could be the flight paths of drones used to assay the damage. That's consistent with both closed loops and with crossing paths.

I just can't seem to download the actual pics.

Summary: A tornado swept through the town of Uxbridge Ontario last week. What does this data say?

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

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.
