Southern Ontario and Quebec are cleaning up after severe storms swept across central Canada Friday, killing one person, injuring many others and leaving thousands without power.
The thunderstorms produced strong winds, hail and reports of a few tornadoes. Trees were felled and buildings damaged across a large portion of southern Ontario, from the Niagara region to the Ottawa area, and across southern Quebec.
The 21-year-old woman died after she was struck by a falling tree branch at a pool in Boucherville, Que., on Montreal's south shore. A six-year-old boy and a 40-year-old woman were also hurt.
Hydro-Québec said early Saturday that by 7 a.m. about 300,000 customers were still without power, a lower number than the 400,000 customers without power late Friday night in the wake of severe storms.
As of Saturday morning 1,700 customers were left without power in Toronto. Toronto Hydro said on their Twitter page that large areas were restored overnight and crews were not focused on smaller streets and houses.
Quebec and Ontario had suffered intense heat and humidity over the past week, with temperatures in the 30s and humidex values easily in the 40s. But there is some relief with the temperature following the storms, as much of the humidity has dissipated.
