MASCOUCHE “When it came, it came too fast. We didn’t have time to do nothing,” Michel Vachon said Tuesday. “I lost my friend. He went this way, and I (went) in my home and had just the time to close the door.”
Vachon was building a small bridge with Jacques Lefebvre, 59, on Monday afternoon when they saw a tornado approach the Montreal suburb. While Vachon went home, Lefebvre only had enough time to take shelter in his shed. As the twister carved a destructive path through the residential neighbourhood, snapping and uprooting mature trees and even ripping one home off its foundation, it picked up Lefebvre’s shed and destroyed it, killing him.
