Wild weather moved in quickly to southern and central Ontario Sunday afternoon and evening causing power outages and some trees in the Grand Bend area fell on cars and houses. More than 4,000 people remained without power in that region Monday.
Environment Canada issued a severe thunderstorm warning, which included a risk of torrential rainfall and high winds. The organization said there would be a chance of a tornado and it looks like that may be the case in parts of the province as storms raged from Windsor to Kingston.
The good news is the storm moved quickly and passed through most areas of the province by late Sunday night. The rain eventually taped off by late Monday morning. In the GTA, Environment Canada said it rained as much as 84 millimetres in some areas. Cars were trapped in the north end of the city as water almost reached the windows.
When the rain finally stopped, the clouds began to push aside as rainbows arched across the sky. Here is a look at what people were seeing around Ontario.
