Most hydro and gas restored in Goderich, Ont., cleanup from tornado continues

GODERICH, Ont. – Most people can turn on the lights again in Goderich, Ont., and by Wednesday most residents should be able to take a warm shower.

Mayor Deb Shewfelt said electricity has been restored to just about all functioning buildings after a tornado hit the community on Lake Huron on Aug. 21.

Also, Union Gas has indicated most homes will have their service back Wednesday.

Shewfelt said a state of emergency remains in place but that could change Wednesday after officials meet to discuss the situation.

Officials will discuss reopening portions of the downtown core, with one or two businesses opening again.

Shewfelt said it depends on how much progress has been made cleaning up the core area.
