These images encapsulate the windstorm of Monday, November 24, 2014 that whacked Toronto and packed gusts of up to 80km/h. Generally, it appears that South Bayview did better than some neighborhoods regarding power failures. There were however reports of branches down on Bessborough at Sutherland Drive. Blackouts in Leaside seemed to be fairly isolated. Josh Matlow (Ward 22) tweeted news that several homes in that ward were experiencing blackouts, wires were down and some signalized intersections (such as at Yonge and St. Clair) were without power. The big rotten tree (top) is one of many that fell. This one is in Parkdale. Weather Channel
