Enormous havoc after Ottawa tornado: 200,000 people in the dark

More than two hundred thousand residents of the Canadian capital Ottawa and neighboring municipalities were still without electricity on Saturday evening, after the area was hit by a tornado a day earlier.

The tornado did not kill anyone, but caused enormous havoc. In the suburbs of Dunrobin and Gatineau roofs of buildings were torn down and houses were leveled. According to Mayor Watson, the storm is one of the most traumatic events for Ottawa, where 1.3 million people live. 'It looks like something out of a movie or a war zone,' he said.
