Cooler and dryer today...

While a pop up shower or storm cannot be ruled out today, the risk of severe weather is over. Yesterday the Kemptville area was spared any thunderstorms. The same can't be said for Cornwall, Glengarry, Massena and Malone, New York as well as Montreal. Those areas were hit hard by a fast moving line of severe thunderstorms from 12-3pm yesterday. The result was heavy wind damage, including 7 tractor trailers tipped over on Montreal's Champlain Bridge along with over 200,000 residents without power. Numerous roofs were torn from buildings and trees crushed cars. Environment Canada has a team on the ground today investigating the damage to confirm if a tornado occurred. Here are a couple of additional pictures of the damage, courtesy The Montreal Gazette.
