Major flooding has been reported in the Toronto area and tens of thousands of people are without power after an intense storm passed through portions of southern Ontario Tuesday.
Flooding on the Don Valley Parkway in Toronto saw some vehicles submerged in the water, which prompted a closure of the southbound lanes of the highway from Bayview Avenue to the Gardiner Expressway.
Global News reporter Sean O’Shea helped a pair of stranded motorists out of their vehicle which got partially submerged on the Bayview Avenue.

@@ThaSchwifty Toronto got a month of rain in 3 hours. For the first little bit it was on and off, then it started pouring heavily and didn't stop. I was lucky enough to be driving on the DVP as the rain started to get bad and the flooding was starting; but it was driveable at that point. Flooding happens very quickly, so within probably 10 minutes the rest would have been underwater. Factor in traffic and a lot of people can't stop safely which is why they get stuck.

@TheScottbb1 Ай бұрын

@@zerospace101 welcome to a modern city. Taxes have gone up with inflation. Compare property taxes with any large Western city. And what makes you think flood prevention isn’t a priority? Look at the Fairbank Silverthorn Storm Trunk Sewer System project as an example. Money is being spent on these problems. But how do you enlarge a river? Maybe the DVP (now offloaded to the province) should be raised a few feet. But as you rightfully say no one wants their taxes to go up. It’s Dundas square that’s getting a rename and not the entire Dundas st. It’s a drop in the bucket of city spending.

@zerospace101 Ай бұрын

@@TheScottbb1 My point assuming it went over your head is that there are much more needed things needing done with the little money Toronto has than renaming things with their crusade against history. Spend more money to speed flood prevention improvements or in more places as an example.

@@KanyeIsRight if you don't see the car in front actually enter the water (but instead turn away from it), how would you know if you can make it? Yes it's about 2-feet high which is too high and will cover your car's exhaust thus flooding & stalling it, but most SUV's will easily get through only 1-foot of water....can you tell the difference between 1-foot and 2-feet of water from 300m away? Now if you want to say they SHOULD have erred on the side of caution like the car in front of them, sure I agree, some people will err on the side of caution, some people won't - it depends on their mindset at the time....but calling them idiots because they didn't think the water is high enough to disable their car is the kind of language used by people who spend too much time on the internet.
