Winds knocked down trees, power lines in GTA leaving thousands without power.

Thousands of Toronto residents are without power after rain and high winds knocked down trees and power lines.

Toronto hydro said at least 25,000 people are experiencing power outages across the city. There is no estimated time when power will be restored but crews will work through the night to fix the outages.

Power outages are also being reported in other regions of the GTA. PowerStream is reporting 34,000 of their customers in Vaughan are without power. Police are also patrolling some intersections as traffic signals are affected.
