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.
Besides fallen trees and a material damage, from what we have gathered squirrel population suffered some loses. Also, 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.
