The cold front that had moved in at around 16h00 on August 4, 2009 brought not just a thunderstorm to Ottawa but also an estimated F-2 size tornado to the Mount Laurier area further north. Nobody was killed there but many roofs were torn off, picket fences strewn about, power lines downed and trees uprooted. There were lots of lightning and heavy rain in my area, but thank goodness no power outage or major damage.Photo Credit 攝影图片: 龍捲風(旋風) Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado

嘩，我未親眼見過，都好驚人。
時常發生的嗎?
Michelle: Touch wood, I have not experienced a tornado neither. However, I did see with my own eyes a bldg that had been damaged by one.
新鮮人: No, tornado hits are not that often in this region. The last time it happened was in 1994 when a F3 struck the town of Alymer across the Ottawa River, leaving a 8 km long path of destruction.
