BARRIE, ONT. Barrie residents impacted by a devastating tornado earlier this month will receive help from the province. On Thursday, the Ontario government announced it was activating the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians (DRAO) program for the south-end community. The EF-2 twister that struck the Prince William Way area on June 15 had wind speeds of 210 km/h and caused a path of damage five kilometres wide and 100 metres long. Currently, 70 homes have been deemed uninhabitable. Upwards of 200 more were damaged. Our government stands with the City of Barrie and the families and businesses impacted by this natural disaster, said Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
BARRIE, ONT. Following the EF2 tornado in the south end of Barrie that left a trail of destruction so damaging it could take years to rebuild, experts are now questioning the strength of Ontario s building code. When it comes to downward forces like the weight of snow on a roof, for example, our code is very good at addressing those downward forces, said Glenn McGillivray, Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction. In a wind storm, particularly a tornado, that roof wants to get sucked up, and the code doesn t really address those upward sucking forces very well, or at all, and we want to see that changed, McGillvray added.
