Artisticated Ivy: The Eighth Blog: Leamington Tornado

On June 5, 2010 a tornado hit Leamington destroying and damaging many homes and properties, especially those along Seacliff Drive. Fortunately no one was killed, but one family was counting their blessings. When *Jane Doe* said she had a bad feeling and didn’t want to be at home on Saturday night, her husband thought it was just another one of her “inklings”. He eventually gave in, and the couple took their young son away for the night. Needless to say, they were experiencing some mixed feelings when they discovered a huge tree lying in the middle of their house, across their son’s bed. Thank God, they were not home that night!

Anyways, I went out with my family to drive around and take photos. Unfortunately almost all of the roads with damage had been closed off and police were directing traffic all over the place. Most of the pictures I took were from the vehicle, so I didn’t get a lot of what I wanted. Hopefully you see something that catches your eye.
