Powerful storm hits Toronto, leaving tens of thousands without power

A powerful thunderstorm swept through Toronto, Canada's largest city, causing widespread disruption for residents. The storm knocked out electricity to tens of thousands of homes and businesses across the city.

Flooding and disruption

The storm brought severe flooding to several parts of the city, compounding the difficulties already caused by the power outages. Flooded streets and infrastructure made it harder for residents to get around.

Impact on air travel

The storm also disrupted air traffic, forcing the cancellation of flights at Toronto Pearson International Airport, one of Canada's busiest airports. This created further inconvenience for travelers with flights scheduled during the storm.

It remains unclear how long it will take to restore power to all affected customers, or how long flight disruptions at the airport will continue.
