_{Toronto is a mess. I will post back some details in a bit. At work the power out til 5am at Jane and st clair. Miss got power at 11pm.}

Highways are not flooded but some ramps are flooded and lots of sink holes. 35k homes without power in West end of gta. Some subways are closed still

I had to work last night, the only subways still closed are from Kipling to Jane due to flooding of a sub station, everything else was back up and running when I left there at 5am.

 

Glad everyone seems to be ok, up in in Penetang there was only an hour of rain before I headed out to work at 7:30 last night...not sure if it rained again...now it's clear skies and sunshine here...

 

Hopefully a quieter night tonight...

I was working last night at the airport (Pearson) and I can say I have never seen or worked in rain like that in my life . It was like someone was dumping buckets of water

on my head for 2 hours . The airport was in and out of red alerts for 3 hours and the ramp areas were completely flooded ! Crazy weather indeed .

Pearson recorded 126 mm of rain to set all time one day record rainfall beating Hurricane Hazel.

Once in a lifetime event.

so this is why I didn't get my orders from yesterday. Thought maybe there was a snow storm

Still Kipling,from Belfield,south to Dixon,and over to Islington lights are all out.4 lane main streets,with a turn lane I may add,treat it as you would a 4 way,well you could only imagine the horns and close calls I saw. People need to wind down a bit.Things take time!!.

Weather, don't ya just love it? We had a great spring here, then they officially announced the start of summer and the rains started. We are under a tornado watch right now, and I think we have only had 2 dry days since summer started.

[Fisherman]

I hear ya, it seems like it's going t be one of those summers that wasn't. I don't think we have had one decent rain free weekend since way back in the spring months. Sun goes down friday night and shows back up sunday afternoon.

Last Saturday was pretty good. Got a sunburn while fishing. But yah for the most part it's been really wet.

The old saying was: "what follows two days of rain in Ontario?"

Answer: "Monday!!!"
