  "account": "Severe storms have left thousands in the Greater Toronto Area and parts of Ontario’s Golden Horseshoe without power. Toronto Hydro reported that around 8,300 homes and businesses are still in the dark, while Hydro One stated that more than 58,000 customers remain offline. Flooding from the intense weather forced some major road closures, including segments of Yonge Street and the Don Valley Parkway, and disrupted subway service during rush hour on Wednesday. The storm brought torrential rain, large hail, and the potential for tornadoes to significant portions of southern Ontario, with video footage capturing hail and heavy downpours damaging vehicles and bus stations. The severe weather also impacted Toronto Pearson airport, leading to flight delays and cancellations, and caused significant damage to Rogers Stadium, a 50,000-seat venue in the city's north.",
