People are getting a good look by daylight after buildings were destroyed, trees uprooted and some minor injuries in a tornado swept into LaSalle from the Detroit River and touched down several times in Windsor on Wednesday evening. The Toronto Sun reports that at around 7:20 p.m. Kathy Hanson, a secretary at Manor Realty on Walker Road, was looking out the front window to see if the rain had let up as real estate agent Maria Franzoi was about to leave for an appointment. “I backed up to the desk and I saw a tree fly by and the front door blew open,” said Hanson.
