OT: Toronto Flood 2013

[Anthrax442]

Luckily I just moved to Ajax, there's nothing out here.

Luckily I just moved to Ajax, there's nothing out here.

That's probably the only time 'Luckily I just moved to Ajax' has been ever uttered.

I kid I kid, Ajax-ians.

Richmond Hill train halfway submerged in Don Valley.

The city got more rain between 5 and 6pm this evening then in an entire average month of July.

Stay safe folks.

That GO train left Union at 5:30 and has been stuck over 3 hours. They have at least 3 feet of gross, disgusting water inside!

I work in downtown but thank goodness I got home before the heavy rainfall. Flooding in Brampton, too.. ugh please stop!

This is how I feel. I went in early today, got in around 7:30, I was walking home from the subway station about 10 minutes before it started pouring...

I would not have handled being stuck downtown with a bunch of grumpy subway people very well.

I just got texts from my friends, most of them are without power.

It's at times like this that I really appreciate living in the high elevation of King City.

I was supposed to meet a client at 6 pm at his house. He emailed me at 6:09 and said he was running late due to the rain. It's 9:00 now and I haven't heard a word. I think he either takes the subway or rides a motorcycle back out to Scarborough.

 

[Eyedea]

Haven't had any troubles here in Scarborough. My dog on the other hand hasn't stopped shaking (haven't heard thunder in an hour or so).

 

[trellaine201]

And here i am n the coast wishing for rain too hot here.

 

[Raym11]

OMFG POWER WOO



just had no power for 3 hours -.-

 

[Marns]

Absolutely crazy here, and they're expecting more rain pretty soon.

Can't believe how this came pretty much out of nowhere.

 

[Paris in Flames]

I got my power back about...half an hour ago but everybody else I know is still sitting in the dark.

Live in Bloor West Village.

 

[Paradoc]

Yay! Power came back at my area.

 

[Toque*]

well thats one way to clean TO

 

[MsMeow]

well thats one way to clean TO

I wouldn't say that water is clean!

 

[Riellyfan04]

bayview is terrible... thank god i got home from work before all of this started.

 

[LeafShark]

Hypothetically speaking, if the ACC gets flooded, does the NHL fold?

 

[Phil Collins]

Still no power on the square one grid

 

[Never]

Stay safe, Toronto. We know what you're going through.

 

[TMLeafer]

I live in a valley next to a creek.....

There was about 3ft water drowning the first floor if the school behind my house but we miraculously made out OK, thank God. Drive home was crazy. Couldn't see 2 streetlights ahead. Worse visibility than a snowstorm. Wipers couldn't work fast enough.

Power's back!

 

[Scar 11]

Stay safe everyone just seen it on the news

 

[Communal Blood]

That's probably the only time 'Luckily I just moved to Ajax' has been ever uttered.

I kid I kid, Ajax-ians.

No you don't. Ajax sucks.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Power's back up.

Stay safe everyone

Guy on the phone from inside that submerged Go Train sounded pissed.
