A friend sent me the link to this post - the images are amazing! I reside in Sarnia and have collected local images for many years and have a fair collection of tornado images. The 2 images with the red truck were taken on Euphemia street looking north from Lochiel street. The image with the young woman looking down in the bottom right corner is of the house on the NE corner of Bright and Forsyth streets, the house pictured in the other Bright street image is directly behind it on Bright. The image with the yellow truck at center is the east side of Christina street looking south from Lochiel, and the last image is of the old farmer's market that was located behind the old City Hall at Lochiel and Victoria streets. Simply amazing - thanks for posting!
