Toronto - Ontario?

[Konstantinos]

The last period I live in Toronto - Ontario, Canada, and I wonder if I will be able to see something extreme, like hurricane... Extratropical cyclone? Very low pressure that will be born in Great Lakes? What do you think? For classical hurricanes, I live very north, and far away from Atlantic Ocean?

No chance of an actual hurricane hitting Toronto, but the extratropical ghost of Hazel in 1954 did cause death and destruction:

What about 1996 Lake Huron cyclone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_Lake_Huron_cyclone

Or October 2010 North American storm complex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_2010_North_American_storm_complex

Or Hurricane Sandy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Sandy

I think Great Lakes are more complicated than oceans...

No the lakes are far too cold for hurricane development which requires warm ocean waters of at least 78*F & yes the lakes are big relative speaking, but really a speck!
