Three churches help with clean-up on Winthrop farm
From Page 1
tractor tire.
The drive shed had two
of its pillars lifted out of
the ground. The shed was
thrown into the addition
that the family added last
year. The shed left a huge
crevasse in the roof.
An empty grain bin
blew off its spot and flew
into the family's two
cars, their pool and
landed in a tree to the
rear of the house.
The windows on one
side of the house were
pushed inward. The
windows in the house all
sustained cracking
the frame.
T h e
family
returned
from a night
at the
movies to
find a field
full of
debris and
severe
damage to
their house
and barn.
"I was crying when I
saw what happened," said
10 -year-old Kaitlin.
Later that evening, the
family contacted the

'It's amazing
that all the
clean-up got
done in one
day,' --

after, 100
people came
to help with
t h e
immediate
clean-up.
T h e
Christian
family took

Monday, the
family along with almost
200 people from Gorrie
Bible Fellowship, Auburn
Missionary Church and
Bethel Bible Church,
cleaned up a mess in one
day that normally would
have taken a few weeks
to clean up.
"It's amazing that
basically all the clean-up
got done in one day. We
thought we'd be doing
that for one to two
weeks," said Nick, 17.
According to
Environment Canada, an
F2 tornado with winds of
240 km/h hit Mitchell
shortly after 7 p.m. the
same night.
The tornado ripped the
roof off a south end
Mitchell home and
caused other damage in
the neighbourhood.
Tornadoes in Ontario
are not uncommon. On
average 14 hit the
province during tornado
season which runs from
May to June.
David Phillips of
Environment Canada said
that people might be
under the assumption that
this tornado season is
very active, but it's not.
So far Ontario has seen
four tornadoes and
Phillips said some people
might think, "This looks
like it would be the
Hollywood -type storm
season here in Southern
Ontario, but there's no
truth to it."
If a tornado warning
has been issued, people
are warned to be cautious
and stay in their
basements. Another sign
that a tornado could
happen is severe
thunderstorms.
As for Rick and Lynn.
Packer and their children
Kaitlin, Dan, 13, and
Nick, they are happy no
one was hurt.
"We thank the Lord for
protecting our family,"
said Lynn.
