Toronto – Video filmed by X user Mariana Hernandez captures fierce winds and violent water conditions at East Bayside in Toronto’s inner harbour on December 29, 2025, at 9:27 AM.

The footage shows powerful waves crashing into the shoreline as intense gusts churn the water into rough, unstable swells. The force of the wind is clearly visible as the surface of the harbour roils under the storm.

Industrial buildings, bare trees, and waterfront structures appear in the background, including a crane and other elements of the Toronto waterfront area. The sky is overcast, reinforcing the severe weather conditions seen in the scene.

The video corresponds with reports from the same period stating that Toronto and nearby areas were hit by severe weather, including strong winds and snow squalls. Environment Canada had issued warnings, citing wind speeds reaching significant levels that contributed to the dangerous conditions.

The storm led to widespread power outages and difficult travel across Ontario, with the Greater Toronto Area particularly impacted. The footage offers a clear view of how the extreme weather affected the local waterfront.
