Wicked weather!

Above is a picture from 2007 on our first RV trip to Meaford. This is the most recent picture of the little park in Goderich, Ontario that we have, where we always stop for lunch. When we stop for the night in Port Huron, Goderich then is a good place to stop for lunch the next day and there is a Tim Horton's as well as this little park with a huge parking space for our machine and a great dog walking spot as well. To the right is a 200 foot drop to the lake below. Goderich is on the east shore of Lake Huron between Sarnia and Tobermory, not too far north of Grand Bend where the Martins used to live.

OK, so what you say about the old news. Well, the little picturesque town of Goderich was slammed with an F3 tornado last Sunday doing extensive damage. In the far background in this picture on the left is a church spire which now has been heavily damaged as well as the rest of the center of the town. Right now they are saying one person was killed and 37 injured ... wow.

They have rightfully billed themselves as, "The most beautiful town in Ontario," and in time I will assume they will restore that look. This is the first serious tornado of that strength since 1996 and quite a surprise for this whole area. In addition to that we had  the F1 tornado recently near Meaford so maybe the weather patterns are changing?
