A horse was electrocuted and a barn destroyed when a tornado touched down at Standard, Alta., June 25, 90 kilometres east of Calgary.
Lynne Palumbo, the owner of the acreage, wasn’t home when the tornado destroyed her barn. The horse was electrocuted when a power line hit a barbed wire fence near the animal.
Two other horses on the other side of the barn were not injured.
Palumbo’s house was not damaged in the storm that brought hail and rain to southern Alberta.
