Three tornadoes touched down on Quebec territory on July 24, Environment Canada has confirmed, causing damage to trees and infrastructure and injuring at least one person.

A tornado formed in Montreal’s South Shore suburb of Brossard just before 8:15 p.m. and uprooted trees, overturned a semi-trailer truck and damaged infrastructure, the weather agency said. Tornadoes also hit St-Hippolyte, Que., located in the Laurentians region, and Cap-Santé, Que., west of the provincial capital.
