By mid-afternoon, the tem- perature was hot and muggy; the air felt heavy; gray clouds looked menacing, and everyone sensed we were in for a storm. Around six p.m. the rain started failing in Clinton. A brisk wind swept sheets of rain across the streets, and I was thankful to be indoors. Thunder rumbled a few times, and occasional stabs of lightning flashed. By seven o'clock the rain had stopped and the sun was almost shining. When I went outside, I felt the hot humid air and suspected we'd receive another storm before the night was over. We didn't because we were lucky. Not until later in the evening did I learn of the tornado that levelled whole communities just a few dozen kilometres away. Homes, factories, businesses, farms, livestock, crops and vehicles were devastated, First reports listed three people dead, damage estimates in the millions and rising, and several hamlets wiped out. People's lives had been uprooted as easily as the trees. Three lives lost are three too many, but it is a miracle the fatalities weren't higher. Newspapers, tv and radio carried countless stories of terror and scenes of destruction. Within minutes Red Cross and other volunteer helpers were at work. Ambulance and police sirens screamed through the darkness. With power and telephone lines cut, many people couldn't call for help; CH radios came into use, ambulance drivers patrolled streets and roads looking for people in need, and need seemed to be everywhere. A reporter at the scene was amazed how quickly people regained their composure, Their first thought seemed to be they were lucky to be alive. Their second move was to take stock of the damage and salvage the little they could. The job of cleaning up was an ominous one, but no one put it off. With disaster staring them in the face, they refused to give up. Instead they began almost immediately to pick up the pieces of their lives and put them back together again. They received help from neighbours who had been more fortunate, Because of the fickle nature of the tornado, houses on one side of a street would be demolished while buildings on the other side would be untouched. Curious onlookers came, of course, to gape, take pic- tures and add to the chaos. Police roadblocks tried to keep them out but some slipped through, A reported looting added another sad note. But other people had another purpose. They came from all directions, and some drove sixty miles or more. They arrived in carloads, truckloads and busloads. Some brought food and clothing for the homeless; others came armed with heavy mitts and work boots, picks and shovels. They became part of the massive clean-up brigade. They didn't know the people they came to help; they just knew they needed it. When asked why they came, volunteers gave various comments. One lady remarked, "It could have happened to us as easily as Odds 'n ends them." A man agreed, "You never know when we might need help, too." A second man explained, "I was in the same situation a few years ago, and I feel like this is my chance to repay all the help I got then." In the days following the tornado, radio stations around Ontario set up a relief network, in which thousands of dollars were raised. Donations came from various organizations, businesses and individuals, and in the meantime, volunteer workers kept pouring into the disaster area. Victims, neighbours and strangers worked side by side. If any good can be said to come from a tragedy, such as the tornado in the Woodstock area, it is the compassion that compels people to help those in need. MR.
