Description
Strong significant tornado witnessed by many locals as it tracked through the area. Detailed description of storm progression and tornado in newspaper. Noted to have sounded like Niagara Falls. Many people attempted to shelter as it approached, most avoiding serious injury or death, while others unfortunately were caught in the midst of the violence, and were either seriously injured or killed. At least 4 people lost their lives, making it the 3rd (?) deadliest Canadian tornado up to that point in time.
