The City of Gatineau has deployed almost 200 personnel to affected areas to secure them and assess the damage. Due to the clean-up, Boulevard Saint-Joseph is closed to all traffic between Boulevard Mont-Bleu and the Jean-Proulx roundabout. Prime Minister Philippe Couillard, left, and Public Safety Minister Martin Coiteux, right, travelled to Gatineau Saturday morning to tour the damage with Gatineau mayor Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin (seen behind Coiteaux). Based on damage reports, the tornado was likely an EF-2, meaning it had sustained winds of 179 to 218 km/h. Debris litters the lawn in front of an apartment complex in the Mont-Bleu neighbourhood in Gatineau.
