Roofs were torn off, debris scattered and roads closed as winds gusting in excess of 80 km/h ripped through the Ottawa area on Wednesday night.
Booth and Eddy streets crossing the Ottawa River were expected to be closed until at least 3 a.m. Thursday as emergency crews cleaned up debris that was blown onto the Chaudiere Bridge after a building at 6 Booth St., on Albert Island, had its roof torn in half. That incident occurred at about 7 p.m., with no injuries reported.
In Sandy Hill, the roof of a six-unit building at 168 Osgoode St., near Sweetland Avenue, was also blown off. Firefighters responded to a 911 call shortly after 8:30 p.m. and searched the area where the roof landed, as well as the top floors of the building, to ensure no one was hurt.
Meanwhile, Gatineau police closed a number of streets from concerns over safety due to debris from the wind. The most significant of note is a block of Maisonneuve Boulevard, in both directions between Elisabeth-Bruyere and Papineau. Police expected the streets to re-open by morning.
Environment Canada issued a wind warning for the region shortly after 4 p.m. on Wednesday, with gusts of up to 90 km/h expected, accompanied by 2 cm of snow and a low of -11C.
