The storm that blew through Toronto last Friday went surprisingly under-reported given its severity. Because there was an actual (actual!) tornado in a small town called Fergus, most of the attention went there (note to Canada watchers - anything that makes us remotely American is reported by the press and gobbled up by the public; it's part of our national inferiority and love/hate relationship with the US - tornados would be one of those things... as would the opening of a Pro Bass Shop). Picture above is from Donalda Golf Club just after the storm. The Club will be lucky to reopen by the end of the golf season. Given the impact on so many people in the city, it feels a little awkward only showing pictures that affect the country club crowd. Ultimately...they'll be OK! Meanwhile scores of people lost cars, basements, yards etc. What's amazing is that no one died.
