In total, the authorities counted 35 interventions involving dangerous structures and 77 interventions involving electrical hazards. Fallen power poles and uprooted trees are responsible for most of the damage.
A building in Limoilou was particularly affected. Around 7:15 p.m., several citizens called 911 from neighbors when the roof of the building was ripped off.
The building with 72 condominiums had to be evacuated. Some of the residents of the first four floors were able to return to their apartments. However, residents on the top three floors will not be able to return to their homes given the dangers involved.
The fire department reported no injuries.
