Most people can turn on the lights again in Goderich, and by tomorrow most residents should be able to take a warm shower.

Mayor Deb Shewfelt says electricity has been restored to just about all functioning buildings after a tornado hit the community on Lake Huron on August 21st.

Union gas has indicated most homes will have their service back tomorrow.

Shewfelt says a state of emergency remains in place but that could change wednesday after officials meet to discuss the situation.

Officials will discuss reopening portions of the downtown core, with one or two businesses opening again.
