PhotoTO: Storm Clouds

Storm Clouds over Lake Ontario by Miles Storey

It's been a particularly tempestuous June this year, with storms rolling in under blue skies and dropping torrents of rain on the city before dissipating or meandering eastwards. There have even been reports of tornadoes touching down in southern Ontario.

The picture above, taken yesterday from the Harbourfront Centre, shows a storm system approaching the city from the east. The funnel shape in the centre is actually heavy rain and possibly hail falling on western suburbs.

The Sun has a photo of a funnel cloud touching down earlier today, too. I was driving on the road (towards the storm, in the north end of the city) when the worst of it hit, and it was just unbelievable.

And apparently there's more coming tonight.

THAT'S what that is. My mom and I saw one when I was in eastern Ontario last week, but I only got a crap cell phone photo. Wicked picture, Miles.
