TORONTO — Torrential rain that pummeled Toronto flooded a major highway, several thoroughfares and a key transit hub on Tuesday – requiring emergency crews to rescue people from stranded cars and other spaces – while large parts of the city were left
without power.
Tima Nizomov was among those who got stranded on the DVP. The 26-year-old said he had to wait in his BMW, with water around him, until firefighters came to rescue him. Charles Hopkins, who had come into Toronto from Hamilton, was among those at Union trying to find a way home. Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said the city was working to deal with the fallout from the massive downpour, noting that emergency services had not been affected."We really seriously have to deal with climate change because these kinds of days are going to be a lot more frequent," she told reporters, adding there would be a review of preventative measures for flooding procedures in light of Tuesday's storm.
Andrea Hatt was rolling a suitcase along Lakeshore Boulevard trying to get from her hotel to Union Station to catch a train home to Burlington, Ont. Flooding on the road meant her route was blocked.“I feel like it came so quick and there was really not a lot of warning about it, you know. We knew it was going to rain but it wasn't supposed to be like this kind of rain.”
