Wind storm uproots trees, topples barns: Early Nov. 13, high winds wreaked havoc all over the Ottawa valley, causing some serious damage and leaving many without power for up to two days.
Heavy rains and 130km/hr winds affected many areas of the Pontiac. Parts of Chichester and Sheenboro were without power for two days.

Another massive tree fell across the driveway of St. Edward’s Roman Catholic Church.
