Intense Storm Wreaks Havoc on Northern Ontario Cabin CTV News Northern Ontario reports on the aftermath of a severe storm that struck a remote cabin in Northern Ontario. The storm, which brought high winds, heavy rain, and lightning, damaged the cabin extensively. Trees were uprooted, the roof was torn off, and windows were shattered. The occupants of the cabin, a family of four, were unharmed but shaken by the experience. “It was terrifying,” said the father, who declined to be identified. “We thought we were going to die.” The family was able to shelter in place until the storm passed, but they were forced to evacuate the cabin due to the damage. They have been staying with friends and family in the area until they can arrange for repairs. Emergency crews were dispatched to the scene to assess the damage and clear debris. The extent of the damage is still being determined, but officials say it could take several weeks to repair the cabin.

The storm, which swept through the region late Monday evening, brought with it torrential rains, howling winds, and fierce lightning. The cabin, located in a secluded area near the town of Marathon, bore the brunt of the onslaught. According to eyewitnesses, the storm arrived with a sudden fury. The winds ripped through the trees, sending branches and debris flying through the air. The rain came down in sheets, drenching everything in its path. As the storm raged, lightning bolts illuminated the sky, casting an eerie glow upon the scene. One of the lightning strikes hit the cabin directly, setting it ablaze. Firefighters from the nearby community of Terrace Bay responded quickly to the scene, but by the time they arrived, the cabin was engulfed in flames. The fire spread rapidly, consuming the wooden structure within minutes. “It was a very intense storm,” said Terrace Bay Fire Chief Terry Kelloniemi. “The cabin was completely destroyed.” Thankfully, no one was inside the cabin at the time of the fire. The owners, who live in Thunder Bay, were away on vacation. The storm also caused widespread power outages and downed trees in the area. Hydro crews are working to restore power to affected residents.
