on_wx Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 The Don River in Toronto has flooded the Don Valley Parkway forcing the only highway into downtown Toronto to shut down. TTC have pulled subway service due to severe station flooding. 80% of the city of Mississauga is without power. Homes and businesses are flooding in many areas. Toronto Fire have performed many water rescues. YYZ has lost power, so have many hospitals. Toronto City Hall is flooding. Edit: You can search #onstorm on twitter for updates.

harrisale Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 More rain on the way as well, even looks like some strong cell about to train over the heavily hit areas. Could get worse in the next few hours. River flooding may also be significant as the headwaters of the Humbe River have received a lot of rainfall.

on_wx Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 TRCA have issued a flood warning for Toronto. Looking at radar those cells about to move over the flooded areas. Also, reports say GO Trains are stuck in flood waters and the train cars are flooding forcing passengers to the second levels. Also reports people are jumping from GO Trains into the flood waters. People also trapped in their cars and on CP24 sounds like panic is ensuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertSul Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Not looking good in the Toronto area, particularly west. Hoping everyone stays safe, especially as it's starting to get dark with this flooding likely to be exacerbated by those training storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we had one micro cell go up overhead and move south, another move out over the lake and now a third creeping down from the north...gives the beach front that tropical feel.

THAT DATE WAS THE SINGLE RAINIESTDAY EVER REPORTED AT PEARSON. 121.4 MM FELL ON THAT DATE. RECORDSDATE BACK TO 1937 AT PEARSON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
