According to University of Western Ontario’s Northern Tornado Project officials, a third tornado has been confirmed in Essex County from the storms on Thursday, August 24. That tornado, which appears to be connected to the tornado that hit Windsor and Tecumseh, first touched down just northwest of Cottam and continued for 13.8 kilometres in a south-easterly direction, ending on Road 4 just east of Highway 77. At several points long the 670-metre path of the tornado — rated an EF1 — damage was visible on the ground consistent with a tornado, which appeared to pass over Roads 10, 9, 8 and 7 west of County Rd. 31 and continued to cross over Roads 6 and 5 east of County Rd. 31. It then crossed over Highway 77 between Road 5 and Road 4 before disappearing into the clouds.

By Mark Ribble Well over 1,000 people showed up to watch the S’aints supergroup rock the Seacliff hill on Saturday, September 2 and cash donations totaled over $4,300 to area food banks. From the opening acts of Peter and Billy Raffoul, right through to the encore by Jody Raffoul and the S’aints, the audience was clapping, toe-tapping and singing along to a lot of familiar songs. S’aints guitarist Wes Buckley’s

moving rendition of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah had the crowd pulling out their lighters and cell phones and swaying to the melody. The night started with a great set from Peter Raffoul, who had plenty of his own fans there. His brother Billy followed with a set of his own and the two performed a couple of songs together before the S’aints hit the stage. Driven by the beat of drummer Jeff Burrows, and led on vocals by the incomparable Jody

Raffoul and Kelly Howell, the S’aints truly rocked the hill and then some. Classic songs like ‘With a Little Help From My Friends’, ‘Son of a Preacher Man’ and ‘What The World Needs Now Is Love’ were highlights of the night with lots to love in between. Another highlight was the three Raffouls on stage together performing their rendition of John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’, with Peter taking the lead and handing off to his brother and dad.

For Jody Raffoul, the pride he felt in watching his two boys perform was evident by the big smile on his face. The three greeted relatives and friends near the stage throughout much of the night. This was the second Labour Day concert by the S’aints on the Sunset Amphitheatre stage. The concert was sponsored by Liuna625, Sunset Produce, the Municipality of Leamington and The Bank Theatre.
