At 4:30p.m. yesterday my cell phone rang
Call display told me it was my parents
My heart sank
They never call my cell phone
I answered and I could barely hear my mother over the static and what I then realized were her sobs
I tried to steal myself for what might come next
And all I heard was Tornado
Photo from London Free Press
A Tornado ripped through Goderich, a gorgeous town dubbed "Canada's Prettiest Town"
Pretty much the entire downtown, known as "The Square" has been decimated
This was all just a few blocks away from my parents
Thankfully my parents have only suffered minor damage to their home
One man is dead and many others injured. My thoughts and prayers are with this man's family and with the entire town as they begin to take in the devastation that has occurred around them.
When you look at the pictures it is amazing that there weren't more casualties
In an instant life can change
That is horrifying!!!!! I didn't realize London had been hit so hard!
ReplyDeleteooops - I realized I made reference to "the Prettiest Town" but didn't specify that it is Goderich (London paper just had the best picture coverage) which is about an hour north-west of London.
