Katrina moves onto southern Ontario

The remnants of Hurricane Katrina recently fell on Southern Ontario just as Environment Canada forecaster Geoff Coulson predicted.
Damage resulting from Katrina’s Ontario presence is likely to be restricted to potential for tree damage and localized power outages in the western Lake Ontario area near Oakville and Hamilton and winds will likely reach 70 km an hour.
The downpour is not anticipated to be as bad as the recent storm damage incurred in the Greater Toronto Region, which resulted in severe flooding and damage to sewage systems, and caused part of Toronto’s Finch Avenue West to collapse.
Katrina’s rainfall in Ontario may be on par with the recent GTA storms but it will take a greater period of time to match the amount.
Southern Ontario, excluding Toronto, was recently put under a heavy rainfall warning in response to Katrina.
Manager of the Canadian Hurricane Centre Steve Miller says the system should be out of Ontario in about one days time.
