An 18-year-old man is dead after he was crushed by the tree under which he took shelter during Saturday afternoon's thunderstorm.
The young man had been golfing at the Rosemere Golf Club, where he was a member. He was alone on the course north of Montreal at about 5 p.m. when the storm blew in.
His body was found at around 10 o'clock Saturday night after his parents reported him missing.
About 28,000 Hydro-Québec customers were left without electricity because of the storm in Quebec's Lanaudière region, the Laurentians, Laval and the South Shore.
Hydro-Québec crews toiled through the night to repair power lines damaged by fallen trees and branches. Forty work teams were still on the job Sunday, the company said.
By morning, power was restored to all but 4,000 of those households, Hydro-Québec said. Those left should get their electricity back by the end of the day.
