After The Storm: Ottawa comes together for September’s Tornado victims
On September 21 around 4:00 in the afternoon.

Kemptville Live, Day 4. Jann Arden Leaves People Happy
Day 4 finally came, but it was different. I awoke Sunday morning and looked out the window…..rain. It had rained during the night but it was still coming down then. The schedule for Sunday was earlier than the other days so they could wrap up at 5 or 5:30. I packed up my belongings and got ready for the day, not knowing what to expect.

All that was dry was an area in the center of the floor. I didn’t know what or if I would be shooting.
