Space, place and scale, the article that i have chosen is about a Tornado that hit Vaughan, ON. The storm took place in August leaving 600 homes damaged, and many people homeless but the ministry says criteria for "Disaster" not met. Now the question arises on what is a disaster? and how can the people who were affected by the tornado find a new place to live.
I live about 2 minutes away from were the tornado hit. Shortly after the tornado hit i went to see the destruction that it had caused. There were pieces of homes all over the road, people were in tears without any shelter, it was devastating to see this happened to these people. And for the province to consider this not a disaster, its sad.
In Vaughan, the people who were hit by the Tornado believe that the province should reconsider it's decision. Mayor Jackson is trying to help these people, she plans to call the minster's office to discuss options. Mayor Jackson has told the public that she is just waiting for a estimate of the tornado's toll form the insurance Bureau of Canada. A gentleman from Woodbridge has stated "the fact is even though it wasn't a humongous scale, it is a disaster. Some of these people have moved in with other family members and some into Hotels. It will take awhile till the place and space that they call home will be cleaned up, hopefully the province will reconsider and help these people out.
