Widespread power outages remain after damaging storms slam southern Ontario

Thousands in the Greater Toronto Area and parts of Ontario's Golden Horseshoe continue to endure power outages following a severe storm that flooded streets, felled trees and utility lines. The first annual payment, billed at $205.00 plus GST, covers one year of service with automatic renewal at $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks. The storm caused localized flooding and damaged infrastructure, including parts of Yonge Street, Don Valley Parkway, and subway service during the Wednesday afternoon rush hour.

Hydro One reported over 58,000 customers without power, while Toronto Hydro indicated approximately 8,300 homes and businesses remained without electricity. Severe weather conditions, including torrential rain, large hail, and the risk of tornadoes, impacted large portions of southern Ontario, causing flight disruptions at Toronto Pearson airport and significant damage to Rogers Stadium.
