Residents also reported heavy rainfall, thunder and lightning, and even a waterspout.
While there were no weather alerts for Wasaga Beach on Monday, Environment Canada did issue a rainfall warning for Owen Sound, the Blue Mountains, and Northern Grey County, saying slow-moving showers and thunderstorms could produce heavy rainfall in excess of 50 millimetres.
The weather warning for those areas has since ended.
