I was supposed to be painting outside today. It was a beautiful day,
instead, our back yard is flooded, my brothers window got blown in, and the major bridge connecting Montreal to my suburb is closed in both directions because the wind overturned a few cars on it.

Major storm
A major storm system is causing havoc across the Montreal region.
63,000 people are without power in the west end of Montreal, high winds overturned four trucks on the Champlain bridge and some flights were disrupted at Trudeau airport, including a jet that aborted a landing.
Airport officials set up temporary lights on the runways to help guide planes in.
A severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for Montreal and Laval, and Environment Canada says there's a possibility of tornadoes and hail up to 20 cm in diameter.
There were several other incidents:
* A lightpost fell onto highway 10 at highway 30 and a car collided with it, trapping the driver.
* A window-washing platform fell from a building on McGill College, but no one was on it at the time.
* High winds blew tree branches into hydro lines and several lightposts collapsed across the region
