We are fine. The storms pretty much missed Toronto. We got high winds for a short while and a bit of lightning. Apparently they recorded gusts of 115 km/h at the airport. There is lots of damage SW of the city and in the Ottawa region though. Hydro are reporting 40,000 people are still without power this morning.
