Original Toronto Star caption: Storm clouds pass over a long abandoned farm just south of Georgetown yesterday; in the wake of Monday's storm which caused severe damage along shoreline of Lake Ontario. Properly and homes in Peel and Halton Counties received damage when gusts of wind of up to 60 mph sent huge waves crashing against shore. One couple; who lives on the shoreline at Oakville; saw 50-feet high waves pounded their property.
