If April showers bring May flowers, what do you get in June?

Well, if you live in Southern Ontario, apparently you get a tornado...at least we did. At 3:00 am Sunday my bedroom started shaking, and although Ed has always said he was going to rock my world, he wasn't even in the room. We were staying at our trailer in Colchester (a small town on the north shore of Lake Erie near Leamington) and we had enjoyed some pretty neat lightening strikes over the lake all evening. Ed fell asleep on the couch (nothing unusual about that!) and I went to bed around midnight. We woke up at 3:00 am and the wind and the lake were roaring. We could hear things crashing around outside and the trailer seemed to lift up and down a bit. For about ten minutes we just sat on the couch and hoped we were dreaming. When the wind died down we saw flashlights outside so we got dressed and joined our friends for a camp inspection. There were branches everywhere, lawn furniture was blown away, sheds overturned and huge trees uprooted. One large tree landed on the trailer 3 doors away but thankfully no-one was there at the time. In the morning we learned of the devastation all around us. We certainly are grateful that despite the millions of dollars of damage in the Leamington area, there were no serious injuries reported.
