‘I saw a trailer that was all twisted’: Tornado tosses Quebec campground
ST-ROCH-DE-L’ACHIGAN, Que. — A tornado tore through a campground north of Montreal Thursday evening, snapping trees, toppling trailers and sending at least one injured man to hospital.
“When I drove through, I saw a trailer that was all twisted, up in the air,” said Andre Parent, a Montrealer who lives at the Camping Horizon campground in summer.
“There was one that flipped over just two over from my home, there are trees down all over the place.”
Environment Canada confirmed Friday the twister struck St-Roch-de-l’Achigan, Que., in the Lanaudiere region about 50 kilometres north of Montreal, at about 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.
