Homeowners are still looking around at the mess and checking for leaks after Wednesday night’s thundering rainstorm. Environment Canada says it dumped 50 mm on the City. It hit about 7.30 and kept up a drumbeat of rain for the best part of an hour. Below are some of the scenes recorded by Torontonians.

Homeownrs are Environment Canada put the City of Toronto under a severe thunderstorm warning around the dinner hour ahead of rainfall that at times was heavy. Just before 8 p.m., the federal agency said it was tracking “a persistent severe thunderstorm” over parts of the downtown core that was responsible for as much as 50 mm of rain falling in some areas.
