Severe storms across southern Ontario damaged a Home Hardware in Ayr, Ont., outside Cambridge, on Saturday. Environment Canada issued a region-wide tornado warning that morning and staff were quick to respond, moving customers to safety.
According to a statement from Waterloo Regional Police, the roof of the store was partially torn off. The business was evacuated, and all employees and customers were able to exit safely
This is the second Home Hardware store damaged due to a natural disaster this month. Earlier in August, the Home Hardware store in Jasper, Alta., was destroyed by the wildfires in that area.
