Outages in Toronto, savage tree destruction in Muskoka

The rattling storm that swept across Toronto late Friday caused a power outage extending south from Danforth Avenue to Lakeshore Boulevard and west from Greenwood Avenue to Victoria Park Avenue according to Toronto Hydro. A large number of people were affected. There were delays getting around and flights were slowed greatly at the airport. The CBC’s John Lancaster is on vacation in Muskoka and sent pictures to Twitter of the savagery of the storm up there. Environment Canada spotted funnel clouds in the Muskoka and Parry Sound areas, prompting a tornado warning on Friday afternoon, which was later cancelled.
