Monday's storm leaves locals homeless
On monday morning residents of Blackville woke up to their houses and properties destroyed by the storm that passed through. Many residents are in panic but police say the best course of action is to hold up with family and friends.
It's reported that 17 houses in total were destroyed and almost everywhere is covered with downed trees and broken branches. No one was killed or injured in the storm.
"Many families stayed in the public shelter," Janie Edwin, mother of two, said. "We are glad we did. I couldn't bear to lose one of us." Janie's house was one of the 17 destroyed in the storm.
Local Grocery stores and convience stores have been busier than ever with families scrambling to gather food.
Sgt. Williamson tells citizens, "People left homeless are either staying with families or in the public shelters. We're doing all we can but I feel it isn't enough.
There will be a fundraiser for people who lost houses on Saturday at the Rec Hall.
