  1. Humans are the cancer of the earth, I hope the whole generation of this two-legged creature will be wiped off the face of the earth.😢😢😢😢😢

  2. These storms are going to become more regular, climate change has caused a dramatic shift to the worlds jet streams. This coupled with changes in ocean currents as a direct result of the introduction of cold water from melting ice from the north/south poles is going to cause intense weather worldwide. This summer is going to look apocalyptic.

  3. Yeah so a lot of the damage you see in this video is from winds that are more than 120 km/h. There are only two stations in the area one at the Ottawa airport and one somewhere in Gatineau. It's extremely unlikely that the strongest winds would have hit exactly where there are measurements being taken. Derechos are full of embedded supercells collapsing in microbursts and it's almost certain that there were 150 to 180 km/h gusts all over the area.

  6. Oh paaaaleeeease………120 kms/hr is nothing compared to the hurricanes Nova Scotia gets. Imagine, if you will, hurricane Yuan in 2003 that hit Halifax with gusts up to 231 kms/hr!! That's a real storm.

  7. We went without power from Friday 4:15 PM until Monday 11 AM. It reminded me of the "Ice storm" in 98 where I was stuck in Ontario for 23 days without power.

  8. I lived in Ottawa for 29 years. Moved to Alberta 30 years ago. In that 29 years I lived there , I've seen a lot of bad storms but never imagined something like this. I lived in Nepean , then Dynes Rd in Ottawa , near Hog's Back . Prayers to all affected and hopefully a speedy recovery.

  9. I think of those who are in Trailer Parks where the Owners of these Parks that have these humble homes packed side by side like Sardines and just let the trees grow in mass profusion allow all of them to grow incredibly tall, very close if not beside, behind and in front of these fragile mobile homes and no trimming or maintenance of these 35 foot trees is ever done on any. I wonder how many trees fell on those places, as many who have to live like that are elderly.

  10. I just can't believe how Ottawa is vulnerable for any climate change.
    A small wind speed knocked out the whole city. Why didn't the army go to Ottawa? Really the city needs genuine leaders. What about the LRT project which robbed the city?

  11. WOW! Can you imagine how much worse it would be if everyone was forced to drive electric vehicles ? You would be instant prey for any reprobates lurking in the community. You'd be better off with a horse!

  12. All those fallen leaves. Better cancel school. Sorry, at some point we are all just going to have to realize that fallen leaves is not enough of a hazard to cancel school. Bad statement, bad reporting.
