Ping-Pong Ball-Sized Hail Pounds Yorkdale Mall Parking Lot During Toronto Storm

A powerful hailstorm lashed the Yorkdale Mall parking lot in Toronto on September 2, 2026, as severe thunderstorms swept across the Greater Toronto Area. Footage filmed by @likimtheonlyone shows intense hailstones pelting the parking lot, rapidly accumulating on the pavement and bollards, while vehicles navigate through torrential rain and severely reduced visibility. The GTA storms brought hail reported to be around ping-pong ball size, along with destructive winds of up to 110 kilometres per hour, heavy rainfall, flooding and widespread power outages affecting tens of thousands of people.
