Clean-up continues in Dunrobin and Gatineau following the destruction left behind from Friday nights tornado.
In the village of Dunrobin some 60 buildings were wiped out or partially destroyed, while in Gatineau more than 215 buildings were damage or destroyed, affecting nearly 17-hundred housing units.
Residents living around Boulevard du Mont-Bleu in Gatineau watched from their homes as the tornado unfolded in front of them.
"I look out my balcony and I see this massive funnel cloud had so much debris in it coming towards my building," said Alexis Kincaid.
"There was a car in the middle of the street he got hit by the roof in the back building, I guess the roof flew over my building and hit the car," explained Dennis Lusignan.
Some residents, like Kevin Lloyd, were outside when the wind started to pick up.
"I was sitting outside because, basically, there are a lot of storms and I didn't think much of it. Next thing I know, my table just flew, the tree started going," Said Lloyd. "I was so glad my kids weren't home, they were out doing stuff. I called my ex-wife to make sure the kids were okay and that's when I heard the roof start ripping off. I thought 'this is it', I did a cross and said 'okay I'm ready'.
People were happy they didn't sustain any injuries, as five people from Dunrobin were taken to hospital after the storm carved through Porcupine Trail.
Mayor Jim Watson was in the area surveying the damage and said it's nothing he's seen in his time living in Ottawa.
"In many instances the buildings have collapsed, the roofs fallen off. It really looks like some kind of war zone or something you would see in the American news," Watson Said.
The prime minister and the premier both called the mayor asking if they would need assistance, but Watson says at this point in time, they are fine and just need to work to restore power to residents affected.
