Rain swept through Canandaigua on Tuesday as crews cleaned up downed power lines and trees after Monday’s tornado. 

City Manager John Goodwin said he’s thankful no one got hurt from the damage over the past 24 hours.

“It brings out a lot of emotions in folks, especially a lot of these trees in Kershaw Park, in Canandaigua, a lot of these willow trees have been here many years. People remember them when they were toddlers, bringing their toddlers here,” Goodwin said.

A couple who have lived in Canandaigua for about 30 years said the park carries a lot of memories for birthday parties, prom pictures, and picnics. “Devastating” is the word they use to describe the damage.

Another man drove from Gates Tuesday morning to look at the aftermath. He said the park meant that much to him. 

“It is, it’s sad. I’m a little on the older side, and it’s sad to see old trees go down like this,” he said.
