Yesterday's violent storm caused quite a bit of damage, especially to a home in the Danforth and Coxwell area. Check out the video, which highlights some of the incidents.

Police are running a pilot project with Smart cars in the role of parking authority cruisers. It's about time! They may have to put the smaller officers on parking duty though.
