This past weekend Ottawa, Canada, was hit with multiple tornadoes as the result of extreme weather. According to an article on ctvnews.ca, six tornadoes touched down and caused severe damage and power outages throughout the area. The strongest tornado was an EF-3, which tore through a rural part of Ottawa, and the others have been classified as EF-2's and EF-1's. Combined, these tornadoes damaged around fifty homes and around 200 buildings. The storms left 3500 people without power for a period of time, though most of it has been restored by now. As of today, most of the areas affected are now back to business, with schools and federal buildings reopening. Those that are still without power should have it restored by Thursday morning. It will be interesting to see how much money the damages will cost and if any more severe weather happens to those regions in the coming weeks.
