Some 80,000 customers were still without power in Québec following a violent storm over the weekend that killed at least nine people in Ontario and one in Quebec.

The lights should be back on for the majority of affected homes by the end of the day, according to Hydro-Québec, but it could take longer for thousands of customers.

A powerful tornado and hailstorm struck the outskirts of an eastern Chinese city on Thursday, killing at least 78 people and destroying buildings, smashing trees and flipping vehicles on their roofs.
