Two people remained in critical condition in hospital and tens of thousands were still without power Saturday, a day after a tornado ripped through parts of the Ottawa and Gatineau, Que., area.
The two individuals were among six taken to hospital after a twister touched down in Dunrobin — a rural community in Ottawa's west end — where multiple homes were severely damaged before it headed east across the Ottawa River toward Gatineau Park, according to Environment Canada.
I was without power for a little over 24 hours since 5 PM yesterday, was pretty eerie.

Friend send me this from his area. They didn't get hit directly but it still looks pretty bad.
I'll probably be headed over to Dunrobin either tomorrow or Monday to help out with the cleanup efforts, i'll try and get some photos of my own while i'm there.
It was pretty strange seeing the entire city dark after the storm blew over. I was watching the power lines being worked on at Greenbank, I drive there quite often, seeing those power lines being snapped in half was quite surreal.
Holy fuck boys I just got my power restored minutes ago. Just a hair over 48 hours after it went out.
Yup, preliminary findings by Environment Canada point that one to being an EF2, the one that hit Dunrobin and Gatineau was an EF3.
Things have become pretty dire...

On the brightside I'll have edible twigs in no time
