15 shots from today's intense storm in Toronto (PHOTOS)

Following a hot and extremely humid afternoon, Toronto was hit by an intense storm.

As residents prepared to head home from work, they were greeted with dark, ominous clouds as the storm made its way into Toronto, which led to heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and even marble-sized hail in some areas.

While most of the city stayed indoors, a few brave souls managed to go outside and capture the storm in all its glory.

Here are some of the incredible shots of Thursday’s storm shared on social media.
