Severe storm hits parts of Ontario bringing down trees, damaging homes

A severe thunderstorm brought down trees and damaged homes in parts of southern Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area on Saturday, with torrential rain and high winds hitting the area.

In Pickering, Ont., pea-sized hail was seen and in parts of Toronto and Ottawa, trees landed on top of vehicles and were strewn across lawns.

Some power outages were reported in parts of the province and at one point in the day, the storm was severe enough for Environment Canada to issue a broadcast-intrusive emergency alert to TV and radio stations and mobile phones.
