The power is back on in London for just about everyone following a thunderstorm that rolled through the city Thursday.
The storm brought an end to the heat wave that has hung over the city for the better part of a week, but it also brought flooding, power outages and upended trees.
Power outages were reported in Masonville, North London, Sherwood Forest and White Hills. Power has now been restored across the city.
