We left home for the cottage an hour before the tornado struck on Friday. We were dropping off the kids at home in Chelsea. The traffic was terrible, so we drove through Hull pretty much as the storm hit Mont Bleu, not knowing about the tornadoes.
At Venosta, the clouds were ominous, but we saw the Sandhill Cranes right near town on he east side of the highway.
We carried on to the lake, had supper and were getting ready for bed when we got a call from Cathy and Bruce in BC - they had seen the tornado coverage on TV, and knew it had struck close to our house. Grant was at home, but we could not contact him because the power was out, and remained out for 4 days. However, the next day we could call our next door neighbour who told us that our house was unscathed.
We called Kirk, who had power and made arrangements for Karine to pick up Grant and all our frozen food and take them to their house.
Meanwhile, having taken our boat out, there was not much else to do but go birding.
