Two hours ago, the meteorological agency also posted a "tornado watch" for the Ottawa-Gatineau area. That watch was upgraded to a warning in the next hour.
Now it appears that at least one tornado has touched down in Gatineau.
Twitter user Ryan Valley posted a video of what appears to be a funnel cloud just outside the capital. Clouds of dust below the funnel seem to indicate that it had, indeed, reached the surface and become a tornado.
Watch the video below:

Another user, Jon, also posted this video, which appears to confirm that a tornado did occur:
Just passed Dunrobin - seemed to travel straight down Thomas Dolan Parkway...

Twitter has erupted in footage of the storm from residents of the capital region.
In this video, a tornado can be seen causing explosions as it travels through the city:

Debris has littered the streets and several properties appear damaged.
Always heed #Tornado warnings! I hope everyone between my house and my parents is okay-- I just drove by and the damage is severe-- pic.twitter.com/MF11QIODFx
Residents of Ottawa and Gatineau should stay apprised of updates from Environment Canada.
