“I don’t know how bad my house is,” she said. “I was at the mall at the time, thank God. But now I’m scared to go back to see what happened.”

Worried residents are waiting to gain access to their homes at a roadblock at Centre Street and the 5th Line.

Jodie Henderson was allowed to go in to check on her house. She said the first thing she smelled when she got there was burning rubber.

“My home is OK, just some plants that were knocked over, but about a mile away there was a lot of debris. I could tell there was a lot of damage,” she said.

Brian and Krystal Kearnan’s home on Stonemount Crescent was severely damaged. The second floor of their two-storey home was ripped off and landed in a neighbour’s backyard.

“We were looking outside and the sky was green and the winds were starting to pick up so we rushed to the basement…then all we heard were all these loud bangs and crashes,” Krystal said.

The couple will be staying at Krystal's parents house tonight.

There has been a lot of conversation on social media about the storm damage.

On Twitter earlier tonight, Simcoe-Grey MP Kellie Leitch sent out her well-wishes for the community.

“Glad to hear no reports of injuries during severe weather in #Angus. Please take shelter & do what you can to stay safe in the storm's path,” reads Leitch’s Tweet.
