In the early morning hours of June 6th 2010, a tornado cut a path through Leamington in the vicinity of Bevel Line and Seacliff Drive.
It ran a course of approximately half a kilometre. Every large tree along Seacliff Drive from Erie Street in Leamington to Union Avenue in Kingsville was either damaged or completely uprooted, changing the landscape and the lives of those who live there.
