'It's like an airplane crash and a debris field.'

But her social media plea for assistance wound up attracting dozens of local volunteers who came forward to help clean up the shattered remnants of the house and mobile home that once stood there.

Although other homes were damaged, no one was killed. There have been no reports of serious injuries, although numerous animals, including cows, chicken and a horse, died or were euthanized, police said. Eleven people died, including a two-year-old child from Brampton, Ont. A 12th person died in hospital a month later.

On Sunday, volunteers found family photos among the debris and saved them in resealable bags. One took her injured cat to the vet. Many offered gift cards — she had $500 worth of them in her hands while she spoke with The Canadian Press.

"When I talked to him on the phone, he said, 'If there's anything you need, Elisa, let me know,'" she said.
