Ottawa, Sept 22 (IBNS): A Tornado has left several people without power after ripping apart Ottawa, the capital city of Canada, on Friday afternoon, media reports said.

Tens of thousands are presently without power in Ottawa, CTV News.

Officials are warning people to brace power cut for days.

The officials also urged people to stockpile food and water.

More than 145,000 people were without power on Saturday morning.

Hydro Ottawa CEO Bryce Conrad said the outages came as a "cascading failure" of resources which are owned by provincial utility Hydro One.
