A mid-October cold front brought gusty rain and hail to communities from Lake Huron to Georgian Bay, Orillia and northern Simcoe County late Friday. There was a tornado warning, since cancelled, for Barrie, Collingwood, Hillsdale, Midland, Coldwater and Orr Lake. Large hail smacked cars and homes. Listen to the drumming on Nathan Howes car roof. Among the most dramatic scenes occurred in Lake Huron communities such as Goderich (above) where the front appeared like a vision of doom.
(2/3) After I rolled up the windows, it sounded like the hailstones were getting a little larger (judging by the sounds of the pings off my car), so my interest was piqued once again. The ping sounds were neat. #Orillia @costcocanada #ONstorm #ONwx pic.twitter.com/JsH5Oy3rla
