In Ottawa, a number of residential streets reported flooding Friday night while fire crews responded to over 100 storm-related calls including car accidents, alarms, fallen trees, snapped hydro lines and a water rescue.
There were no serious injuries reported.
A severe thunderstorm warning was issued for Ottawa-Gatineau on Friday afternoon as a line of storms moved east across southern Ontario and then lifted early Friday evening. A severe thunderstorm warning was issued and lifted late Friday night.
