Janina Currah and her husband Rob’s farm near Foam Lake, Sask., was devastated by a tornado June 29.
Their new farm shop was hammered and grain bin yard shattered, leaving bins and debris scattered over nearby fields and closing the highway and the railway track and knocking down powerlines, but sparing their home. No one was in it at the time.
Environment Canada has indicated that two other tornados touched down that day, one near Manitou Beach and in the Cymric, Govan area.
