Storm causes massive damage

[Galdorf]

Wow what a storm in this area from eye witness accounts it was mini tornadoes they carved a path through Sudbury in a strait line my business and house only suffered very minor damage but on Lassalle and back for 5 miles looks like a bunch of tornadoes ripped through uprooting HUGE trees that blocked all the roads some trees ended up flying across the road and hit cars and roofs flying some smashing living room windows.

Roofs blown right off 5th wheels blown over as well as transports and train cars metal and glass signs twisted and shattered water 2 feet deep everywhere as almost 4 months of rain fell in 15 mins it was like the sky opened up water just dropped like i have never seen before power like poles with transformers broken like toothpicks hydro wire all over the roads police had to rope off the area.
I talked to an 86 year old guy he says he has never seen anything like this there is millions in damage insurance companies will be VERY busy.

Glad you're OK!
Can you send some of the water down here (Toronto) as my better half is using way too much water on the front and back gardens.

Thank you in advance.

Power at my house will be out for a week the damage to hydro poles half of them need to be replaced in my area roads are full of hydro trucks.
Some streets still have trees lying in the road alot of people will be surprised when they get back from vacation to find a tree crashed through their roof or front window or fell on their second car or trailer demolished up against neighbors house.
Some trailers were shredded into pieces never seen anything like this even windows of houses were blown out by the force of the wind and shattered by debris and hail a few car lots got hit as well even stop lights were obliterated all mangled lying on the side of the road.

I read that 3 times before I figured out you must be referring to hydroelectric. I'm thinking - "Water Poles??!? What the heck does the water company need with POLES???" haha. I've heard of burying electrical utilities, but never unburying water lines and hanging them from poles. You shore do live in an interesting place!

Is also name of the companies that supply power here as well most power around here are from dams Sudbury Hydro and Ontario Hydro which is called Hydro One now.

Here is a video of the down burst it was like a nuke gone off and blasted trees out of the ground.
