Claim: Social media posts claiming to show damage from the powerful tornado that hit Ottawa and impacted Gatineau in Quebec province on September 21 are not from the recent storm in Canada. One photo shows damage in Joplin, Missouri in the US after a tornado in 2011. The other claims to show devastation in Saint-Sauveur, Canada, but the post uses screenshots from the video game Fallout 4.
