Downtown Toronto appears unscathed in this photo, bathing in the afterglow of Wednesday's storm, but much of the city was hit far worse, and many homes won't have the power they need to see this story when it goes live early Wednesday. Trees are down, lines have snapped, golfball-sized hail fell, sections of subways and roadways flooded, some fires started. We hope anyone negatively affected will find things return to normal for them soon!
