High winds were causing stuff to fly around and at Portland and Adelaide Sts the road was closed briefly when a construction platform looked like it was ready to fall. Yonge St was closed between Asquith and Yorkville because of blowing construction materials. And a rolled truck has caused a temporary closure of the Burlington Skyway. The picture below is courtesy of the OPP. They have also tweeted a bad single-car accident on the 403 (posted below) which may or may not be wind-related. Fingers crossed as we see the Toronto Hydro Outage Map is quite clear approaching 3 p.m. Winds appeared to subside in Midtown about the same time.

Windy and beautiful at Fort Erie, but I’m somewhat protected from the strongest wind gusts here. And, right now, the ice barrier is holding. No ice at the mouth of the Niagara River. @weathernetwork #ONStorm pic.twitter.com/YwoCwe5YrY
