Our thoughts and prayers go out to the folks between Carstairs and Didsbury who experienced the devastating tornado of July 1, 2023.
We must be thankful that human life was spared even though 14 houses were affected, and five houses were completely destroyed. One woman was trapped in her basement as her home was destroyed above her. Carstairs Fire Department pulled her from the rubble and she only suffered minor injuries. 25 cows and 20 chickens died in the storm and one horse had to be put down
