So, a tornado just hit Barrhaven. For many of us, it's just some pics & videos we'll see online.
But for a lot of people in our city, this is downright brutal...and will likely be that way for days to come.
And the stressful memories could last for a while, too. (1/2)
Ottawa Police remain in Barrhaven, assessing damage and assisting residents.
Several partners are assisting, including @OttFire and @OttawaParamedic.
This incident has a large footprint and officers and partners are working diligently to assist everyone needing help.
There may be road closures due to fallen trees, electrical wires, etc.
A family reunification centre has been established at the Minto Recreation Complex, 3500 Cambrian Road in Barrhaven.
Please do not call 911 unless it is an emergency and you need Police, Fire, or Paramedics.
