The bills are still being tabulated, but the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) says claims of damage from a weekend ice storm that hit southern Ontario could reach $100 million.
Pete Karageorgis, Director of Consumer and Industry Relations with IBC says there have been reports of cars and homes damaged by falling trees, and in some cases those falling limbs opened the door to water damage as well.
The freak weather system also knocked out power to some 44,000 Toronto Hydro customers, another 68,000 with Hydro One
Karageorgis says many insurance companies brought in extra staff to deal with the deluge of claims.
"So it's no surprise that this event will likely be one that is notable in the amount of damage that it results in."
Karageorgis points to a wind storm that hit southwestern Ontario in March 2017 and resulted in $100 million in damages to get a sense of what the eventual grand total of damage claims from the ice storm might be.
While last year's storm covered more territory, it did not have the added punch of ice, snow and rain.
Damages from the ice storm that pummelled the GTA in December 2013 piled up to $200 million.
