Toronto Storm

While on holiday in Canada we visited the CN Tower which was fantastic. We went to eat in the restaurant and watched this storm come in over Toronto below us, little did we realise how much havoc it was to cause. All power went off and we were stuck in the Tower for about an hour and a half! When we did reach the bottom everywhere was flooded! Took us 3 hours to get home to our cousins house in Milton. Should say this was taken through glass and I had to do quite a bit of pp to remove the reflection of all the lights from the restaurant.

Hi Paul I am not entirely sure which way we were looking, we just sat in wonder as this black monster engulfed the whole of Toronto before our very eyes! I have a landscape version of this too it really was quite scary! Car629

Now that's a storm and a great point of view. I assume we are looking west to southwest and this is the storm as it's approaching. Looks like a classic HP super cell, generally not tornadic although there does appear to be a wall cloud in there. Paul
