Some survivors have been interviewed on CBC Radio -- people got out and ran as fast as fast as they could.
The satellite picture and radar showed fast moving CBs originating at Tobermory at tip of Bruce Peninsula and ending up as a line from Tobermory to Buffalo as of 1600 local. Amazingly very thin line at beginning 15 miles now broadened to 60 miles and INTENSE rainfall.
Extreme heavy rainfall driving home from a few miles South of YYZ on QEW. Pax on other flights kept in planes after landing because lightning strikes in vicinity require evacuation of ramp personnel.
Pax second to leave reports poor braking on runway followed by bumps and abrupt impact. Pilot came on PA to advise pax to remain in seats, but fire began in tail and he got out and ran as fast as he could.
Anoraks observing approach from East end saw nothing abnormal.
Press conference by Steve Shaw of GTAA: Overshot by 200m at 16:03 local time.
