This week's stormy weather in Toronto and across Ontario has lit up the sky with some spectacular shows and some people managed to capture photos and video.

Thestormy weather was predictedwith Environment Canada saying Toronto could get up to 50 mm of rain on the city within just a single hour.

With thebrutal heat wave Torontois experiencing this week rain would be a reprieve, and in Windsor, they got buck loads of rain.
