Re: Flash Storm in Toronto
Ran to the pub and got drenched. Then found they were out of power too.
Back on now.

Re: Flash Storm in Toronto
My daughter has been stuck on the 427/401 for several hours. Our condo building on Queen's Quay W has lost power and the underground garage is badly flooded. Thank goodness we left Toronto yesterday to drive back to New Jersey...because our parking space is badly flooded. No power = no elevators...I don't think I could walk up all the stairs to the top of our condo building.
Front and Simcoe are badly flooded with sewerage...amongst the water. Goodness knows what time she will get home tonight...or tomorrow.

Yeah...she said the water is up to the top of the tyres of some of the cars in the outside lanes. I don't think she's moved for hours...when she does she has to get to Queen's Quay...so she has quite a journey.

No chance, lakeshore is a lake without a shore. :@) plus Down town is a war zone at the mo.

We've been watching CP24 and CTV on the computer...you are correct Lake Shore looks like a lake without a shore. No street cars or trains. Stations in darkness. No leccie in many areas of downtown. Flooded cars strewn about the roads...a war zone indeed.

1600 people stuck on the 530 Richmond Hill GO Train. They are being lifted out of windows onto boats.
