TORONTO An Ontario woman filmed the devastation left behind after a tornado touched down in the south end of the city of Barrie Thursday, leaving significant property damage in its wake and several reports of severe injuries. Barrie City Councillor Natalie Harris posted footage of the aftermath on Facebook, where she can be heard describing the damage. “The roof is gone, oh my god,” she says in the video, walking around the house. Harris told CTV News Channel Thursday she felt like she’s “in a dream.” “To be honest with you right now I am just so grateful that my son and I are OK, that my dogs are OK – we were in the basement, we made it there just in the nick of time,” she said.
