An operational analysis of the severe thunderstorms of August 4th 1994 / by Pierre Vaillancourt.: En153-115/97-001E-PDF

"Quebec Province, southern sections of it in particular, is the site of severe weather events caused by summer meso-scale convection. On average, around 100 confirmed cases of damages are reported each summer over the whole province with heavy downpours and downsbursts being the main cause. Although, these events are in general of a lesser extend and in smaller numbers than in the American Mid-West, they are of the same nature. In 1994, we had an exceptional year with double the amount of severe events and an amazing 17 confirmed cases of tornadoes"--Introduction.
