A peek from the Town Crier’s May 21, 2014 issue – An EF-1 tornado touched down in Mildmay and area on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 around 5:15 pm. It caused widespread property damage including the farm of Murray (Chuck) & Carolyn Borth (top photo) located on the 8th Concession. An old bank barn was completely destroyed, a portion of the house roof was removed, trees along the laneway were snapped off, and other buildings were damaged as well. Debris was scattered across neighbouring properties (Don Thompson photo).
A huge evergreen tree located on the Lambert Street property of Jim & Vicky Huber was another victim of the tornado, and landed between the shed and house, missing both structures (Town Crier photo).
