      In what world in the largest city in the country getting a flash flood of over 100mm of rain in a few hours, not a real emergency.
      Almost 200,000 Toronto Hydro Customers have lost power.
      The subway and underground path are flooded.
      Peoples basements have several inches of water in them.
      People are trapped in elevators.
      There are no doubt countless electrical fires that have been caused.
      Screw your head on straight. This is an emergency.

    The water doesn't look deep until you step in a manhole that the cover has been displaced because of a surcharged sewer. You know, when you see water spraying up through those little holes on the lid? The next thing that happens is a moving manhole cover. You can't see this in that dirty water. Glub glub.

    *Omg, what a waste of government services "rescuing" that lady. The water is barely up to the bottom of her door, and is LOWER than knee height!
    She doesn't appear to be elderly or disabled either. She should have been forced to wait, like a triage situation.
    This is like showing up to the emergency room with a scraped knee...AND she was literally the only one thick enough to even try that road...the driver's ed book needs desperate updating.
    Even though it happened to a friend's mom years ago (with the famous pic of the Ferrari stuck in water) I still find it hilarious that people drive into enormous pools expecting to be fine 😂.
    At least my buddy's dad had a pickup, and he went and just pushed their minivan out of the water (still had to wait until the next day before it would start).
    Seeing Honda Civics stuck in water up to the windows just won't get old though.

    Kind of puts into perspective the softness of Canadians & its people (Ontario), and the fact that Toronto is a baby tucked away nested city, that among the entire globe & human habitation, it is situated away from earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes, wildfires, landslides, avalanches, blizzards, sandstorms, severe droughts and severe flooding (not mild flooding).

      So, geographically speaking Toronto is in a decent spot given the general lack of these natural phenomenon. It’s certainly a better location than Buffalo-on the downwind side of Erie and unprotected side of Ontario. I live near Toronto and you have listed the exact reasons that I do: no hurricanes, rare severe flooding, (rare and usually weak) tornadoes, wildfires, etc. All the things not covered by insurance.

    You can see the water moving around her car and the hwy is effectively acting like a river.
    Even the Firefighters are concerned about it, you can see them all wearing tethers.
    Have a little compassion for her. Imagine you were stuck in her spot.
