Thousands of Toronto residents remained without power and flooded train tracks, power stations and roadways delayed commuters after the city recorded the heaviest one-day rainfall in at least seven decades.
The overnight storm brought almost 100 millimeters (3.9 inches) of rain to the city center and 126 millimeters to Toronto’s Pearson airport, according to Environment Canada. It knocked out power to 300,000 residents, and 20,000 people remained without electricity in the city’s west end this morning, according to Toronto Hydro.
