Totally effed in these parts

Well Toronto got its entire normal rainfall, for the month of July, in less than an hour last night. The total was almost 5 inches which broke the record set in 1954, by Hurricane Hazel. No casualties reported.

A few subway stations are closed, due to flooding, and 3 of the 7 commuter train lines are closed for the same reason. The last of the one thousand train passengers, that were stranded when the track and their train flooded, were finally pulled off by boat around 1:00am.

Minimal water damage here, at work, which is quite a change given that we're in a sub-basement and have had ongoing issues with leaks.

By comparison Hamilton, which is just 40 miles to the southwest of Toronto, got something like 2 inches of rain.
