Severe Thunderstorms Pound The GTA<\/strong>
\nTuesday July 8, 2008
\nCityNews.ca Staff<\/p>\n

It took a while, but the severe thunderstorms that were promised for much of Tuesday did eventually descend on the GTA, causing untold damage and even claiming a life.<\/p>\n

Downtown, the rains first started to hit the pavement a little before 8pm, turning into a torrential downpour a short time later.<\/p>\n

Hardly limited to the Toronto’s core, though, there were reports of entire streets flooded and buses and cars trapped on those water-logged avenues in and outside the city. Rushing water shut down part of the Don Valley Parkway south of Bloor Street and flooded the intersections of Oakwood and Davenport and Leslie and Eastern.<\/p>\n

But the wet stuff was the least of some people’s worries.<\/p>\n

A man was reportedly struck by lightning inside Christie Pits at Christie and Bloor, found there without vital signs under a tree that had been pierced around 8pm. He was taken to hospital, but sadly couldn’t be revived.<\/p>\n

“I saw lightning hit this tree right in front of my house,” said one stunned witness. “At the base of the tree there was lying a man and I went to see if he was okay … he was a different colour.”<\/p>\n

The victim’s identity hasn’t been released and police are investigating to make sure the man’s death is at it appeared to be.<\/p>\n

“The assumption is a lightning strike, but because nobody actually saw him struck by lightning we’re searching the area under an abundance of caution,” said Toronto Police Det. Marcel Chiasson.<\/p>\n

Cops are also warning drivers to take extra precaution on wet roads, especially when the harsh weather comes as quickly as it did Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

The severe weather watch for the GTA had been cancelled by 11pm, though the damage — including countless split trees and flooded basements — will take hours, if not days to remedy.<\/p>\n

The good news? Toronto Hydro had no reports of black outs, though several hydro lines were knocked down across the city.<\/p>\n

If you see any downed lines call Toronto Hydro at 416-542-8000.<\/p>\n

Man killed by lightning at Christie Pits<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nStaff reporters<\/p>\n

A 28-year-old man has died after he was struck by lightning tonight just before 8 p.m.<\/p>\n

Witnesses say the man had sought shelter from the pounding storm under a maple tree at Christie Pits, near Christie and Bloor Sts, when he was struck.<\/p>\n

Curtis Puncher was sitting on his porch when he saw the lightning flash in the park. After the rain stopped he went to check the tree he thought had been struck, but instead found the man not breathing and without a pulse. <\/p>\n

Puncher performed CPR under the guidance of a 9-1-1 dispatcher until paramedics arrived. The man was taken to Toronto Western Hospital where he was pronounced dead. <\/p>\n

The man was from Toronto, but not from the Christie Pits area. Police say they are attempting to contact his family, who live outside the city. <\/p>\n

An autopsy will be held tomorrow. <\/p>\n

Environment Canada recorded 430 lightning flashes during the storm that ripped across the GTA tonight, said Arnold Ashton, a severe weather meteorologist. More than 50 millimetres of water fell before a severe thunderstorm warning was lifted around 9 p.m.<\/p>\n

Parts of GTA had to deal with powerful thunderstorms, farther north some storms quite severe<\/strong>
\nTuesday, July 08, 2008 – 08:35 PM
\nBy: 680News staff <\/p>\n

Severe thunderstorms rolled thru parts of the GTA, Tuesday, and farther north the storms were even more powerful, knocking down trees and powers lines.<\/p>\n

Nelson Millman with 680News’ sports station The Fan 590, was in Jackson’s Point on Lake Simcoe, when a furious storm knocked over a massive oak tree onto the hood of his Infinity G35.<\/p>\n

Millman said when someone knocked on his door and told him his car was under a tree he thought he was the victim of a prank. “[…] You never think it’s going to happen to you – so everybody beware of flying trees. I heard Harold Hosein saying there was some weather coming and sure enough once again 680 weather was correct.”<\/p>\n

He said his silver car was crushed and the culprit was about 70 feet in length.<\/p>\n

“A number of trees went down on the resort. There was a cottage that was struck by a tree […] The tree came down on the cottage as well,” added Millman.<\/p>\n

Luckily nobody was hurt in the storm.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the cold front, 680’s meterologist Harold Hosein said we have a few Thunderstorms moving across southern Ontario and affecting parts of the GTA, Tuesday evening. Hosein warns that you should be prepared for heavy downpours, strong gusty winds and maybe even some hail.<\/p>\n
