So, a pretty wild storm rolled through the greater Toronto area and parts of the Golden Horseshoe recently. We're talking about major power outages, with thousands still in the dark as of Thursday morning. Toronto Hydro was reporting around 8,300 customers without power, and Hydro 1 had over 58,000 still offline. This wasn't just a little rain shower either. The storm brought to Rinshield downpours, massive hail, and even the threat of a tornado. It caused some serious flooding, shutting down key roads, like parts of Young Street and the Don Valley Parkway. Even the subway service got disrupted during the Wednesday afternoon commute.
