THREE tornadoes, two downbursts hit Ottawa region.
THREE TORNADOES CONFIRMED
A cold front that tracked over southern Ontario through Friday evening brought severe and rotating thunderstorms to eastern parts of the province.
"A severe thunderstorm produced a downburst in Calabogie near 4:15 pm Friday," says Environment Canada. "A tornado then developed over Calabogie and tracked to White Lake. Several houses have roof damage and many trees were snapped and uprooted. Winds associated with this downburst and EF-1 tornado are estimated to be up to 175 km/h."
The second tornado tracked from 10 km west of Kinburn across Dunrobin and Gatineau between 4:40 p.m. and 5:20 p.m. ET, and was given a preliminary high end EF-3 rating, with wind speeds up to 265 km/h.
"This tornado damaged or destroyed numerous buildings, overturned vehicles and snapped many trees and hydro poles," adds the weather agency. "There were also reports of multiple injuries including, several people that were critically injured."
A third tornado formed shortly after around 6 p.m., which tracked from the Arlington Woods to Greenboro areas in Ottawa. This twister "significantly damaged buildings and snapped trees and hydro poles," says EC.
Officials have given a preliminary high end EF-2 rating to this tornado, with wind speeds up to 220 km/h.
"Yet another area of damage from a severe thunderstorm was investigated at Sharbot lake," says the weather agency. "A downburst with maximum winds of about 110 km/h knocked down many trees in the area."
Officials continue to survey the damage to determine the exact tracks of these twisters. Tornadoes of this strength are rare in Canada, especially in September.
According to David Sills, a severe weather scientist with Environment Canada, the Ottawa-area tornado is only the second EF-3 or higher recorded in Canada in September or later. The other occurred in 1898 in the Niagara region. The 2011 Goderich EF-3 tornado was the last recorded in Ontario.
POWER RESTORED FOR THOUSANDS, SO MANY BUILDINGS DESTROYED
"This is the worst storm that we have dealt with in the history of Ottawa ... at least since 1998," Joseph Muglia, director of distribution operations for Ottawa Hydro told the CBC on Saturday, referencing the historic ice storms that hit the region in 1998.
By Monday evening, only about 3,700 Ottawa customers remained without power, mostly in the Nepean area. In the Outaouais region, Hydro Quebec reported that about 2,600 customers were without power as of 6 p.m. Monday. Officials say crews and external contractors will be out in "full force" doing line checks and assessing issues at individual properties. About 80 volunteers were also being paired up with firefighters Monday to help board up windows and doors in the hardest hit areas.
Ottawa residents who have been affected by the power outage who are in need of food, water and shelter can call 311 and select option four.
All Ottawa-Carleton District School Board and Ottawa Catholic School Board schools were closed Monday, but the the University of Ottawa, Carleton University and Algonquin College remained open as usual. In Gatineau, Hadley Junior and Philemon Wright High School were closed due to tornado damage.
'IF SHE'S GOING TO DIE, I'M GOING TO DIE WITH HER'
CBC published a heartbreaking interview with James Widder, a resident of the Mont-Bleu neighbourhood in Gatineau, who had to fight to keep his daughter from flying out of his arms when the tornado ripped the roof off their home.
"When it ripped the roof, my daughter ... she went flying up and I'm holding her hand in the air, and I almost let go because she was slipping," Widder says in the emotional clip.
"And I said, 'if she's going to die, I'm going to die with her."

The storm produced hail the size of golf balls as it began to move toward Arnprior and Fitzroy Harbour, according to social media reports.

最新消息，一共有六个，新的三个都是EF1在Quebec。
"Environment Canada has confirmed that three additional tornadoes touched down in western Quebec on Friday — bringing the day's total number of twisters in the Ottawa-Gatineau area to six.
At around 3:30 p.m. ET, a tornado hit the Baskatong reservoir about 30 kilometres east of Mont-Laurier, Que., the weather agency said Tuesday.
It likely travelled about 10 kilometres through the wooded area, snapping trees and downing power poles as it went, Environment Canada said.
About 90 minutes later, another touched down near the Val-des-Bois, Que, area, about 90 kilometres north of Ottawa.
That twister travelled east-northeast for about 13 kilometres, damaging buildings and snapping trees before dissipating near the town.
Satellite images also allowed the agency to confirm a third tornado touched down roughly 25 kilometres north of Otter Lake that day and cut a three-kilometre swath through the forested area.
All three twisters were likely EF-1 tornadoes, Environment Canada said, meaning they had wind speeds between 135 and 175 km/h."
