Main Ottawa We have a tornado!

We have a tornado!

No, it wasn't a tornado this time, just a thunderstorm. Lots of damage nevertheless:

Trees down, again:

In case you haven't seen or read the news, the Bluesfest stage collapsed during the performance of "Cheap Trick". The stage moments before:

Luckily, only a few people were hurt.

Ok - fine, there was a tornado, but on June 23rd. It was spotted from a Greenbank apartment building, facing Aylmer section of Gatineau. Environment Canada confirmed that a large funnel cloud over Ottawa was a class F0 tornado. The tornado, which registers as a 'gale tornado' on the Fujita scale with wind speeds of up to 116 km/h, did not touch down or cause any damage.
