'No man's Ontario. It looked like a scene out of a World War I movie, but it wasn't. This was for real. Picture was taken Saturday morning less than a day after six ripped twisters. twisters through central Times and Citizen were produced reporter photographers: Peter Spohn, Sanderson, Cathy Dupuis and Doug Reed. In a spontaneous outpouring of generosity, 600 members of The United Church of Canada. meeting in Barrie donated $5,200 to the Canadian Red Cross to aid victims of the tornado. The church members, meeting at the Con- tinental Inn, were less than half a mile from the site of the worst devastation. When details of the disaster were known, the delegates offered their services to relief organizers. As some local clergy and others left the con- ference 0 minister to the stricken, clergy from other affected areas also left the meeting to return to their communities to offer whatever assistance they could. Rev. Dr. Sang Chul Lee, minister of Toronto Korean United Church, was installed as President for 1985-86 at the conclusion of the Sunday night worship service held in St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in downtown Barrie.

Hell rode in mph winds A trail of death and destruction in Barrie A As tornado victims begin rebuilding their homes and lives this week, the twisters have already been termed nature's worst disaster in Ontario since Hurricane Hazel in '54. Twisters clocked at 500 km/h How is it that a tornado can cause sO much damage in a few seconds? It's been reported, twisters can generate speeds of up to 800 km. h (500 mph) once they start swirling. Last Friday's were measured clocking speeds of 500 km_ h (300 mph). They can sound like jet engines or steam rollers on a drunken rampage. They usually touch down from monstrous black clouds and suck up everything in sight. These funnels can snap trees like matchsticks, toss bricks like confetti and shatter dreams. Tornadoes form when extreme cold and hot air meet. When cold air fronts and hot air fronts clash during a humid summer's day, there's a good chance bad weather won't be far behind. When the air masses start to swirl and rotate, a twister can be born in as quick as a wink. JUNE7 provided.
