During peak wind gusts, trees were blown down and tore power lines as they fell, leaving tens of thousands without power. According to Hydro One's website, power had been restored to the majority of its affected customers by the early afternoon on Tuesday.

See below for a look at the damages caused by the strong wind gusts and high water levels.

In Ft Erie now. Water levels are as high as I've ever seen them, but I'm sure locals have endured worse! @weathernetwork #onstorm https://t.co/36dPrEjrXz

Please #StayHomeSaveLives! There is no need to put yourself in danger. Several roads are closed in #PortDover, #TurkeyPoint and #LongPoint due to flooding. Do NOT drive around road closure signs for everyone's safety. @NorfolkCountyCA #NorfolkOPP ^es https://t.co/CF6pTcl4lA
