Toronto Under Water

Yep. It's rather nasty. My wife called her parents, who live in Toronto, just to see how they were doing. Luckily for them, they are on higher ground.

 

Holy crap! Where is that first photo? Is it the 401 or the DVP?

Yikes!

 

wow...we are in a drought down here in TX...


Good luck!

 

It's important to keep on tryin', till you reach your higher ground.

Stay safe and take funny flooded-city pictures, Toronto TBers!

This-

 

DVP, I think. Pretty intense. Stay safe YYZ folks!

 

I thought it looked like Lakeshore. Stay safe Mrak.

I hope you are all safe and sound and dry out soon. I live in the "FLOOD CITY" Johnstown, PA and we get lots of rain (and snow) and it has been raining every day here for the last two weeks but nothing severe like that. I was just thinking how I would like to make a trip to Toronto but I think I will wait awhile.

 

I wad caught on the damn island... We got out just in time I guess. We got absolutely soaked on our way back to the hotel... What a day.

 

Cripes. First Calgary and now Toronto.

The weather gods are not favoring Canada lately.

Those are some amazing pictures. I hope all is well for our Toronto members. Stay dry my friends!

 

Oh, and, climate change is a myth.

The Don Valley really got nailed.

 

I sure hope nobody was hurt. These are some amazing photos.

Don't bring that into this thread just dont

 

I recall about 20 years ago when the Dallas area got 10" (250mm) in 2ish hours.

It literally washed out my driveway, among other things.

It was from a hurricane that slammed into the Houston-ish area and did this 250 miles inland.

Be safe Toronto.

 

It's actually the 427, though the DVP was just as bad.

 

Man, I'm telling you it was nuts. We were on the island when it started and had to walk through puddles up to my calves to get the ferry. When we got back to the harbor we had to run through the rain again until we got to PATH. We were halfway through it and the power failed. It was basically like the beginning of a zombie movie underground with just emergency lights. Not bad for my first trip to Ontario...

Not the TURBINE FREIGHT!!??

 

Loved the video on the news of the GO Train passengers standing up to their waist, watching a water snake tavel along the lower level of the car... I know a few people who would have braved the water, to avoid the snake!
Didn't get much out here in the "east end" of the city, but downtown and especially Etobicoke/Mississauga got hammered!
Still have rotating black outs in those areas, but thing seem to be settling down, that is until that cold front makes it's way through the city this afternoon/evening... they are calling for some pretty nasty T-storms! Should be awesome at soccer practice!
