Creston in the News - Friday June 30th, 2007

So this past Friday we had a large storm blow through the valley. It made national news that there might have been a Tornado touch down here. Here is a link to a news storey from CTV:

There were a lot of trees that got knocked down, and part of the local RCMP detachment's metal roof got torn off.

The most damage was about 6 blocks from us. All we had were a few shingles from some one's roof in our yard and a couple of tree branchs on the street but nothing really to speak of.

The power was out for about 3 hours, we just took the opportunity to play a couple of games a crib and hang out. The brewery was a mess after the power came back on as there was a surge and it fried a bunch of different components. Scott has been dealing with this aftermath almost all night Friday and Saturday. Things seem to be coming along now, and they are up and running.

Happy Canada Day
