Storms morphed into heavy rain cells when reaching Toronto. The insurance Bureau of canada has estimated that insured losses were the highest in the province's history, exceeding $500 million Canadian dollars, two and a half times that of Ontario's losses during the 1998 ice storm and the second largest loss event in Canadian history.[1]
