Tornado in Leamington...How Much Damage Was There To The Greenhouses? Video...It looks pretty bad.

How bad was the tornado and weather in the Leamington area on the greenhouses?

 

I saw this article but wondered if anyone else had any info.

 

About $3 million of that is for two vegetable greenhouses that toppled in the high winds and tornado in Leamington.

The Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers is still hearing from growers to get the total number of greenhouses and acres damaged in the storm. The association said "several" were destroyed or damaged by the tornado. That's in addition to Yoder Canada's potted plant greenhouses

 
Here is a little video.
