This is very near to my House.
Yesterday there was torrential rains and heavy winds...
Here is an article (it is translated from french )
A tornado in St-Eustache
Updated: 03/08/2010 5:02 p.m.
While many parts of Quebec were plunged into full severe thunderstorm watch, tornado may have touched down near Saint-Eustache, on the North Shore of Montreal.
The experts at Environment Canada have not confirmed it was a tornado.
Caroline Bibeau Mirabel attended the meteorological phenomenon. She describes it as "mini-forming clouds that moved slowly." This training was moving and gradually dissipated.
For now, there are no reports of damage, which suggests to Andre Cantin of Environment Canada that could be a very weak tornado, force F0, which would hit the ground very briefly.
Since early summer, many microbursts shook Quebec. These phenomena can sometimes cause damage when winds reach 90 km / h.
"These are winds that are associated with thunderstorms that are thrown to the ground," said earlier this summer Serge Mainville, Environment Canada. "In the air, there is an acceleration taking place, and hitting the ground, there is an impact on objects, and what is going to fall lower."
