Angus Tornado Relief – How You Can Help

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Experience Realty, Brokerage

Everyone in Simcoe County was shocked when the Tornado warning on Tuesday night resulted in a tornado touching down in Angus in Essa Township.

The EF2 Tornado touched down in Angus around 5 pm on Tuesday night. Approximately 100 homes were damaged as the twister touched down behind Nottawasaga Pines Secondary school and then moved east towards the 5th line. The hardest hit area was in the newer subdivision along Stonemount and Banting Crescent.

 What has been evident throughout this disaster is the great sense of community that we have here in Simcoe County and Essa Township. Staff at Essa Township have been overwhelmed with requests from residents and businesses throughout the community.

So, how can you help those who have been affected by the Tornado?
