Canada: Ontario police said several more were injured in a strong summer storm.
Montreal:
Four people were killed and nearly nine million homes were without electricity in a severe storm that lashed Canada’s eastern provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Officials gave this information on Saturday.
Ontario police said on Twitter that three people were killed and several others were injured in the strong typhoon.
One person died after a tree fell on the trailer in which he was staying. A woman in her seventies was also crushed by a tree while walking in a storm.
In the federal capital Ottawa, another person was killed in the storm, but local police declined to provide further details.
The fourth victim was a woman of her fifties. The CBC, citing local police, said she drowned when her boat capsized in the Ottawa River that separates Ottawa and Quebec during the storm.
About 900,000 homes in both provinces had no electricity on Saturday night, according to online calculations from local providers Hydro One and Hydro-Québec.
