For all of you on the Niagara Peninsula. Highest waves from Lake Ontario will impact your shoreline. STAY AWAY from the water. #Sandyby Adam Stiles via twitter 10/29/2012 3:41:06 PM

The biggest danger in Toronto will likely be from falling trees & tree branches.
The city has an enormous green canopy, including large mature trees, which will likely be damaged from the predicted high winds.
Falling trees can cause power outages, property damage, injury and even death. -
