Ontario Was Hit By Several Vicious Storms Last Night & The Aftermath Is Shocking (PHOTOS)
Pea-sized hail could be seen raining down.
A barrage of thunderstorms ripped through parts of southern Ontario on Thursday causing widespread damage and power outages.
According to the Weather Network, an unholy combination of strong wind gusts, heavy downpours and large hail touched down in the GTA last night causing a whopping 1,500 Toronto Hydro customers to lose power.

In fact, the winds were so strong that several large trees were also uprooted, which made for some pretty shocking visuals on Friday morning.
