Global News
Environment Canada meteorologist Peter Kimbell confirmed to Global News that what residents saw was in fact a tornado, with winds as strong as 200 km/h.
Environment Canada says there’s a chance Quebec could be hit with more severe weather Sunday after a tornado touched down in Quebec’s Laurentian region on Saturday evening.
The national weather agency says a strong storm whipped through the area near Saint-Adolphe-d’Howard, about 100 kilometres northwest of Montreal.
Authorities say the forceful winds uprooted trees and caused heavy damage to homes and Hydro-Quebec is reporting major ongoing outages in the area affecting hundreds of customers.
