My home town Goderich devastated by tornado today

I called (by cell) and my family are all ok and so are friends and most others from what I hear. There was a recent report on facebook that, possibly, 2 killed at the salt mine.
Much of the town is currently without power and phone.

That is horrible news, I saw a bunch of pics that a friend took while he was there, the main square is like a war zone.
There were some vehicles that were flipped right over. My prayers go to the people there.

Glad to hear everything is OK at least with your family Paul.

Just one more indication that the weather here on Earth is changing for the worse due to global warming, the storms are getting more violent with each year that passes......Sad thing is people (mainly Government and Corporate Giants) pretend to care about our environment buy only really care about money. Its a sad world but its reality.

^future of this province and the canadian government is in our hands. If you care about climate change and the environmental Canada's environmental footprint, make your voice heard.

"Experts" keep denying that climate change is an issue, but all over the world we are getting instances of deviant weather. Thoughts and prayers with the people of Goderich.
