Canadian authorities announced on Saturday the death of four people following violent storms in the east of the country.
Nearly 900,000 homes in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec are also suffering from power outages.

Severe thunderstorms hit eastern Canada on Saturday.

Bad weather led to the death of four people and deprived nearly 900,000 homes of electricity in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. On Twitter, the Ontario police recorded three deaths and several injuries, victims of a severe summer storm. A person lost their life when a tree fell at midday on the trailer they were sheltering in Brant County, south of Toronto.

In the same area and a few minutes later, a woman over seventy years old, who was walking in the storm, died by a tree, according to the same source. To the north, in the federal capital Ottawa, a person lost their life due to the thunderstorms, but the local police, during a press conference, refused to provide further details.
