So relieved to hear you and your family are ok. We often go to Goderich Sun afternoons. Glad we chose not to go yesterday. I hope the flea market was over before this happened. As others have said, let us know what we can do to help.

There is one confirmed death and over 30 injured, they are still looking for people, but I think the numbers are pretty low considering it was a busy Sunday afternoon.

I was reading this morning that there was one death, so sad. Thankfully however there weren't more deaths and I'll be praying that those missing are safe as well. I hope canadians band together and help if called upon for this community.

Insurance should cover a lot of the damage. There of course will be renters who didn't have content insurance. There is nothing I stress more to people is content insurance is a must, you just never know what can happen

Going over to my moms today to help clean up I think.

If anyone wants to send stockpile stuff I could bring it up to the salvation army, thats all I can think of thus far.

My thoughts are with you.

That's my hometown and all my family still there. They're all okay, some property damage but minor in comparison to other loss and damage. Benmiller Inn is a favourite place and very sad to see the damage there. Lots of roads still closed so I'll wait until better access to go help. Lots of hydro and phone service still out. Words cannot describe the devastation and my prayers go out to the family of the miner who lost his life.

Those are shocking pictures Sally, I looked at the other aerial ones too and the one that kind of creeped me out was the show playing at the town cinema was Fright Night. ( I can only imagine how frightening a night it must have been after that tornado left )
I am sorry that you know people who were personally affected by this.
