GO BROOKSIDE !!!

Hello Evevryone!!!!

Over the last few months our childrens school had been participating in the Trees of Knowledge Competition through Mejesta. 

The competion is to win $20,000 for an outdoor classroom for learning about the outdoors.  And Bookside has been working very hard to achive first place.  Although they have been stuck in fourth place for a while we are reaching out to everyone to vote Brookside!!!!

Tomorrow The Green Team and Grade 1 Students are heading to Goderich where they are planning a small parade in hope to spark interest in our campaign to get more people to voting daily.   Scott Miller from CTV Two will be there to cover it :)  So they will be on the local news! Yaaaa!!!

The Brookside students will also be planting a tree at Harbour Park as part of the Tornado Recovery Program.  Go Brookside!!!  

Thank you for voting Brookside over at Mejesta.com

(you can only vote once a day)

GO BROOKSIDE!!!!!!

Untill Tomorrow,

Tornados lifted, happy now!

Thank you GOD!!!!  The tornado's have lifted!!!!   All warnings have now been lifted, amen!   No worries now, just clean up.  
I'm also thinking of those down south who deal with this sort of thing on a daily basis, like earthquakes and hurricanes. 

It truly does look like a war zone, these are only a few pictures. It was crazy seeing it with my own two eyes.

oh my!

Oh my, I have so much reading to do from other blogger ladies.   I have been distracted by the Tornado that went through the town of Goderich which is 10/15 min south of us.  And today starting around luch time they have put out Tornado Warnings. 

Wow!!!!! 10 mins ago Tornado just touched down outside Lucknow which is 10 min, not even north of us.   I was on the phone with my friend Kate (also a fam. member)  They are in the basement  and the news and radio is telling us to get down in the basement where its the safest.  I just went out to the shop to get Jack and to tell Chris.  He told me that he seen the sky and the clouds go together from different drections, It was pretty wild hes siad, just minutes before I went running out. He thought for sure that that was a tornado.  So now 2 more have hit the area.  3 altogether in the last 4 days.  (and we were always told that we couldn;t have toradoes so close to the lake)   Anything can happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  



Well, over and out.  Untill later.  Bye

What a day!!!

 I 'm thinking of those in Goderich right now!!! :(  After the Tornado ripped though yesterday just around 4:00pm.  We were at a wedding shower for Kate in Port Albert. About 10/15mins north of Goderich.  We were on the edge of the storm with very little hale. (Kate is going to marry one of Chris's oldest nephews, Cory)  Jillian Cory's sister got a text from her soon to be husband Trevor saying he was in the basement, tree down on porch, fence gone, car done, very scared. Tornado.   This is how we found out what was happening.  Scary!!!

We have family members who have had alot of damage done to their homes ans vehicles.  I have been trying to get a hold of some people but cant get though, cell phones are jammed.
I'm thinking  that it is so much worse then what they are letting on.  They have closed down the roads leading in to town (as we call it)  We don't know how long they will be closed for.  We have heard that there is a conference to be held this morning to asses the damage and to bring in volunteers,  Chris has said that he will be taking time from work to help out. He all ready to go!!!

So now it is about 12:30pm, luch done and Chris and a few friends are off with there chain saws to help where needed!  Good luck boys!!!!!  (we have both friends and family with major house damage:(.  )  But lucky no one was hurt!

I have been looking around for pictures and video, but there are a few on utube. Type in Goderich Tornado.  

Until  later, there will be more updates at 3:30.    bye for now.
