Thanks for the Canada Day greetings 
unofrtunately..some bad weather hit parts of Eastern Ontario on Canada Day.
Eleven hurt by severe storm
Victims in Ottawa, Cobourg received injuries when thunderstorms roll through region
CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Eleven people in Eastern Ontario were injured on Canada Day (Thursday) when severe thunderstorms rolled through the region. Six people were seriously injured in Ottawa and five others were hurt in Cobourg.
The six in Ottawa were seriously after high winds during a severe thunderstorm snapped off the branch of a large maple tree in a park and tumbled onto shocked Canada Day revellers.
And in Cobourg, two 12-year-old girls were taken to hospital after a tree fell on a car. Three other people were also injured in that accident.
The six hurt in Ottawa had sought refuge under a tree in Major's Hill Park when the thunderstorm hit. The youngest of the group, 14, suffered head and back injuries when the branch fell.
A man in his 40s was laid up in hospital with severe lacerations and head wounds. None of the injuries are life-threatening.
"It was actually quite a large branch," said Ottawa paramedics spokesman J.P. Trottier. "It must have been a pretty good gust to tear it off the tree. It was bit of a chaotic scene down there for a good half-hour after."
Storms and hail also whipped through southeastern Ontario near Oshawa as well as Cobourg.
