I had the chance to take these pictures down by the lake around The Boulevard Club and Sunnyside Pool vicinity this afternoon. Today's "Witch's brew" winds as termed by Environment Canada meteorologist David Phillips produced some extraordinary waves along the waterfront. It was warmer than usual even though the winds were in excess of 80 km/hour. The wind was hurricane force without the hurricane rains, todays winds formed when air from the Rockies met with cool air from the north and picked up an energy boost from the Great Lakes.
It also took out power along St. Clair W, Keele St and other pockets around the city. Driving through the city was stop and go because of flashing red traffic lights.
