Hundreds of people across Toronto and the GTA are still without power on Wednesday morning following Tuesday's thunderstorm.

According to Toronto Hydro's outage map, as of 10 a.m. on Tuesday morning, Scarborough is the worst area affected with 347 customers out of power. There are also over 100 customers without power in North York, with others affected in Etobicoke and Rexdale.

Yesterday evening's stormy weather in Toronto caused disruption across the city, with 27,000 Toronto Hydro customers going without power at its peak, according to CP24

Toronto Maple Leafs fans were also asked to leave the tailgate party at Maple Leafs Square outside of Scotiabank Arena around 6 p.m. due to the stormy conditions. However, it reopened shortly after.

Speaking to CBC News, a Toronto Hydro spokesperson says they hope to restore power to the remaining customers by 12 p.m. on Wednesday.

Wider Ontario was also severely affected by the storm, and thousands of customers have no power.

Hydro One says it is working to restore power to more than 46,400 customers. Central Ontario was particularly hit hard, with over 18,000 affected just north of Huntsville.

The end isn't in sight yet, as The Weather Network is predicting more stormy weather for southern Ontario on Thursday.

However, TWN reports that there's less widespread risk with less severity in tomorrow's storms than yesterday.

And there is light at the end of the tunnel, as TWN says there will be a "fantastic start to May" with "above-seasonal temperatures" and "below-seasonal precipitation".
