I can remember losing an apartment in a fire, and someone was killed. It's devastating and very stressful to have your life suddenly upended like that. Not surprising some people still have PTSD from this.
I was driving to pick up my girlfriend, who is now my wife, in Big Bay Point on that day. I remember it very well. It was the worst weather I have ever seen. Such a scary situation. I couldn't see two feet in front of my car. The rain was so intense. Still unbelievable even today. My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones.
I was 10 years old...It affected me like nothing else since. I can't imagine the hell those more directly affected went through. I still don't like wind.
I was born in Orillia the day this happened. Thank God my parents were further north or I probably wouldn't be here. And yes, the big quarter century anniversary is coming, I feel old...

@88Hellrazr I think it was 8 in Barrie. There were additional deaths in nearby towns (Grand Valley was one town with a fatality that was mentioned).
