Wedding with a twist: Tornado throws wrench in couple’s wedding plans
OTTAWA — Joshua McEvoy was sure his wedding was ruined.
As a tornado tore through Ottawa’s Dunrobin neighbourhood uprooting trees, tearing off roofs and downing power lines, McEvoy, who lives in the Centretown West part of Ottawa, said he started to get more nervous.
Though the PhD student at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., was spared the worst of the storm at about 6 p.m. on Friday, he lost power.
While Ottawa regularly gets thunderstorms and the power goes out for a bit, McEvoy said he realized this was different.
