Original Toronto Star caption: Site of tragedy: Grand Valley resident Doug Hunter stands on what used to be the floor of his house; pointing toward the couch on which his wife; Mary Fraser; and her aunt; Tillie McIntyre; 76; were sitting when a tornado hit. The twister raised the couch up through the roof of the wrecked house; then slammed it down yards away; killing McIntyre; severely injuring Fraser.
