At least 125 homes damaged in Barrhaven tornado (Ottawa suburb) [View all]
A tornado touched down in the south Ottawa suburb of Barrhaven early Thursday afternoon, damaging at least 125 homes, according to Ottawa Fire Services.
"The damage varies from roofs being ripped off of the homes, the shingles and the sheeting, down to broken windows and trees being down," Kim Ayotte, Ottawa's general manager of emergency and protective services, said during a news conference hosted by the city later in the afternoon.
"Thank God there was only one minor injury."
Witnesses have told CBC they saw at least one tornado in the area. Several provided photos and videos of funnel clouds and swirling debris.
