Several people were hurt Tuesday as storms swept over southern and central Quebec, including one storm that Environment Canada confirmed was a tornado.
The storm hit a campground in a town called Lac aux Sables, about 100 km west of Quebec City, around 8 p.m.
People at the site yelled in fear as they saw a funnel cloud approaching and while many ran for cover, not everyone was successful.
Three people who were eating outside were hurt by the storm as wind speeds varied from 135 to 175 km/h. They were taken to hospital to be treated for their injuries.
The Sureté du Quebec said the strong winds picked up a recreational vehicle and threw it onto another RV. Fortunately nobody was inside either of those vehicles at the time.
The storm also knocked down trees and power lines, causing substantial damage to cars, houses, and to a local beach.
Crews from Hydro Quebec spent Tuesday night and Wednesday assessing the damage and restoring power where lines were cut.
Officials opened up town hall to be used as an emergency shelter for those whose homes were badly damaged.
Earlier in the day, storm cells uprooted trees in Laval, bringing at least one tree down on a house.
This is the second tornado to strike Quebec in July, following an EF1 tornado that hit Saint Roch de l'Achigan on July 11. In a normal year six or seven tornadoes touch down in Quebec.
On Wednesday another funnel cloud was seen, this time near Ottawa, but it does not appear that it did any damage.
