Tornado in Toronto!!!!






Today was a wash and clean day to catch up. I did 4 loads of wash while Ron washed the car and moho. About 3:30, it started raining so hard Ron had to quit and then the heavens opened up and it poured. Thunder and lightning started, became very severe and the news came on that a tornado had been sited and one actually touched down north of Toronto so we were all on tornado alert. I’ve never seen such continuous lightning strikes and loud thunder. It was directly overhead and finally passed east and cleared up by 8 p.m.and we could see a pretty sunset between the trees. Another interesting experience on this trip. This campground has been the best location for us. A couple bought the property and were going to make it a farm but the fellow was allergic to hay so they turned it into this campground abour 45 years ago. The 81 yr old lady still lives in the original brick farmhouse which has a lovely front porch and plaque by the door saying, John Smith, Farmer with the dates, 1893 - 1934.
