Friday marks one year since an EF-2 tornado tore through a south-end Barrie neighbourhood with winds up to 210 kilometres an hour, causing over $100 million in insured losses.
The powerful storm that hit Prince William Way lasted roughly 10 to 15 minutes and damaged 110 homes, 71 of which were deemed unsafe, displacing numerous residents.
"The rebuilding effort has gone really well," Barrie Mayor Jeff Lehman said during an interview with CP24 on the one-year anniversary Friday."They are still fenced off and damaged," he said.
