 The cities of Ottawa and Gatineau were brushed by the storm but escaped the worst of the effects.During the rest of the late evening, the storm weakened as it travelled through southern Quebec and eastern Ontario, but it still contained a fair amount of lightning when it crossed the Laurentians north of Montreal.The following day, the remnants of the derecho would re-fire over parts of New England including Maine but were not as severe as the original cluster.
