Sandy continues to affect Hamilton weather Tuesday morning.
Environment Canada reports Southern Ontario still has rainfall and high winds to come.
Hamiltonians can expect 20 to 40 more millimetres of rain Tuesday.
Environment Canada cancelled the wind warning before 6:00 a.m. Tuesday, but southern Ontario can still expect the strong winds.
The strongest wind reported in Hamilton was near the Queen Elizabeth Way in Stoney Creek, gusting to 96 km/hr at 12:15 a.m., according to the Weather Office.
Overnight in Hamilton, the Mountain and Ancaster, Dundas and Flamborough areas were the worst hit.
"As far as weather goes, between 8:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m., officers responded from call to call for trees down, wires down and collisions," said Terri-Lynn Collings, spokesperson for Hamilton Police. "That was expected with the high winds."
In the lower city, Collings said there was only one call, a tree had fallen on some cars.
"The damage was not too significant," said Kelly Anderson, communications for Hamilton's public works department. "It was similar to other storms."
Anderson said there were no reports of floods on any roadways in Hamilton. The city received five calls for flooding in basements and two calls for sewer back-ups. These incidences were scattered around the city and not in one concentrated area, she said.
"Crews continue to work this morning, mostly on traffic signals, power outages and fallen trees and debris," Anderson said.
There were no injuries overnight related to weather, just property damage, Collings said.
At the Hamilton International Airport, flights are running on schedule, said spokesperson Ashley Hogan. One 7:00 a.m. flight to Calgary was cancelled Tuesday morning because the incoming flight from Calgary didn't make it to Hamilton Monday night.
All City of Hamilton sports fields and diamonds remain closed until further notice.
To keep the clean-up on track, the City of Hamilton is asking residents who see large debris on roadways to call 905-546-CITY (2489) to have city workers remove and dispose of it in a safe manner.
Hydro One reports minor power outages — roughly 100 households without power — in the Dundas and Ancaster areas as of 8:50 a.m.
Across Ontario, about 90,000 homes are still without power as a result of the weather, according to Hydro One.
In Toronto, a woman in her 50s was killed by a sign that had come loose in the wind in the Keele Street and St. Clair Avenue area.
Environment Canada reports the heaviest rain should be out of southern Ontario's range by Tuesday night, with some showers on Wednesday.
