Storm brings death, delay and darkness.

Twenty-four hours' battering by rain and gale-force winds left a huge slice of Southwestern Ontario in a state of havoc last night, and hour by hour the picture of damage and destruction grew grimmer.

 ..  All trains between Toronto and points up to North Bay were at a standstill.

Deep washouts were reported in at least eight areas. In the middle of two washouts between Barrie, and North Bay, a trainload of cattle was marooned. Passengers and freight trains were signalled to a halt to avoid weakened sections of track.
