Forecasted thundershowers produced a few powerful microbursts in the province of Quebec on the Aug. 22. 2017. One such had hit Notre-Dame de Grâce borough in Montreal around 15:30h, knocking down hundreds of trees and power lines, leaving thousands without electricity. As a consequence. fallen trees have also damaged a number of vehicles, some beyond repair, while other have damaged some houses.

No humans were harmed. Besides fallen trees and a material damage, looks like that squirrel population suffered some loses. A number of young squirrels were orphaned and at least some taken by NDG residents who were willing to provide them with a necessary care until they grow up.
