[criesofthepast]

Well, move your stuff up as much as you can, I guess

Its all my sisters junk. I have nothing down there lol. Thankfully we have a drainage pipe down there so water is only about just around my feet. Not knee level or anything. Just everything on the floor is soaked.

Nothing like what kave man described hah.


Some news channel on my street now though ~_~

 

[Kave_Man]

Found some images, seems it was back in 2004 or my calendar was wrong either way:

Home sweet dry home.
Hope everyone else on GAF is okay too.

 

[DopeyFish]

I want power

 

[Divvy]

Thank heavens for hotpot. Otherwise I wouldn't have a gas burner to make ramen in.

 

[Rinoa]

Hope everyone's safe. Barely made it home and power was out.

 

[Zombie James]

I want power

Got mine back almost an hour ago

 

[DopeyFish]

Got mine back almost an hour ago

They say etobicoke/Mississauga in about half and hour but I'm not confident

 

[jokkir]

Got mine back almost an hour ago

[cube444]

Fuck!!!!! Mikado Sushi closed. June 16.

What a terrible day....my go to place for sit down sushi is gone. Fuck!

Is that the one on Laird?

 

[Rinoa]

Power is back here. Also mobile networks/internet seems to be coming back online.

 

[diaspora]

We're only passing the eye of the mini-storm. It's afaik, going to get worse.

 

[Divvy]

If your power comes back. Let us know what area you're in.

 

[Kave_Man]

We're only passing the eye of the mini-storm. It's afaik, going to get worse.

No no no no no!

Also not gonna lie wish I could use this as an excuse to not go into work tomorrow.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Holy crap it's a shitstorm in Toronto. I'm glad I'm a bit past port union and Shepard.

[diaspora]

No no no no no!

If you live in ‎#Mississauga/ ‎#Oakville/
park your cars inside, do not leave home.

My minor in ‎#meteorology is finally coming in handy-
look at the pictures below, we have just crossed a eye of a mini storm. a much larger system is moving through Michigan up towards from the ‎#LakeErie side, and ‎#PeelRegion is going to get his hard in the next few hours.

ONCE AGAIN THE STORM WE ARE GOING THROUGH IS JUST THE BEGINNING!

1st picture is the radar to track the storm system.

2nd picture is out cloud cover and you can see that another hurricane like system is going through the eastern USA, if the it crosses ‎#Philadelphia then we are in the clear is it makes its way to ‎#NewYork it will move westward and colide with our system- to give you all the most amazing hail storm ever.

‎#STAYSAFE

"Rainfall amounts over 90 mm have been reported in parts of the Greater Toronto area thus far, and will likely exceed 100 mm before the rainfall tapers off late this evening"

MY POWER HAS RETURNED!!!!

Near the Toronto Zoo and I heard up to McCowan and Finch as well.

 

[Firest0rm]

Left work 7 pm, walked all the way to bloor got on subway to Lawrence then walked to York mills and now waiting for a ride to pick me up. It's jam packed here. No power, people hiding under the gas station.

at the office we saw the construction sites by the QEW and York st turn into mini waterfalls.

 

[Smo21]

Looks like power is back here in Mississauga!

MY POWER HAS RETURNED!!!!

Hey bud check your pm.

 

[thabiz]

Holy crap it's a shitstorm in Toronto. I'm glad I'm a bit past port union and Shepard.

#allgoodinthehood

thats my old hood. south of shepard. west hill represent.

 

[The Elite]

Some slight flooding in the back of the apartment complex. One unit has a bit of flooding. I live on the ground floor. Don't think I'm going to sleep. Just put the gaming pc on the kitchen table.

 

[shadowkat]

Drive wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been. The power was out for a huge stretch along the 401.

Poopy

 

[Returners]

No! My power is still not back in sauga.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

North York here. Still no power at all almost 6 hours longer.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

Turns out I never lost power. But yeah, looks pretty bad outside (and so weird to see that south of Steeles from where I am is pitch black)

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Holy shit, is everyone okay!?

I was at Wonderland today, and I thought we had it bad. Just got home and heard about you guys. Shit.

 

[Returners]

Turns out I never lost power. But yeah, looks pretty bad outside (and so weird to see that south of Steeles from where I am is pitch black)

Party at your house!

 

[cbox]

It took me 5 hours to get home tonight guys, 5 hours. Every route I tried to take was denied as anything under a certain depth was under water.

Someone hold me

 

[cube444]

Is the DVP still closed?

 

[thabiz]

Is the DVP still closed?

yep. probably well into the morning too.

 

[shadowkat]

Is the DVP still closed?

Parts of it are closed but not the whole stretch.

 

[Smo21]

No! My power is still not back in sauga.

Strange. Power is back around Dundas Mavis area.

 

[trixx]

Got my power back around 10 minutes ago. One of those days where you're like "thank god im not on wind mobile". Hope everyone gets through this some bad things occurring around the city im guessing

 

[AlphaTwo00]

yep. probably well into the morning too.

That GO train stuck down there can't be good either

 

[The Elite]

Wow. They had the most annoying woman on cp24 complaining that the train rescue is taking too long. I think she wants to sue. Take it easy. They need to take their time to get everyone off safely.

 

[criesofthepast]

Power never went out around Pearson where I am. Water has receded here and minus a bunch of garbage scraps on my lawn and a now damp basement, I'd say everything turned out okay. Rain seems to have stopped here. Only concern is a lot of the water soaking up my walls and getting into cracks behind my fireplace. I don't know what to do about preventing mold and shit now.

Oh and buying a shop vac tomorrow. Would have made cleaning up a lot easier. Hands hurt from mopping and wringing towels.

 

[Kave_Man]

Haha was thinking the same thing listening to her.

 

[cbox]

I tweeted to cp24 to get her off , oh man what an idiot. I understand she's frustrated, but somehow she's pissed at GO for the fucking lake on the tracks...

 

[cube444]

Crazy. I was in Whitby all day today and avoided this rain. Just got home at 9:30pm and used Vic Park off the 401 to head south instead of taking a chance on the DVP.

 

[Divvy]

Power up at all corners of yonge and finch except the one I live on.

 

[Kave_Man]

Goddamn just saw a gigantic flash of lightning.

Lit up the whole sky.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Power up at all corners of yonge and finch except the one I live on.

Aw shit that sucks man. I'm at yonge and Steeles and still no power but I see a building near me on yonge with lights on. No fair.

 

[shadowkat]

LOL

 

[criesofthepast]

Man fuck off cp24. No one wants to talk to you at 11:30 after sitting in a stinky humid train for 5 hours. Let them go home.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

OMG MY POWER IS BACK IS SUCH A THING EVEN POSSSIBLE FINALLLLYYY more than 5 hours. It was an ordeal guys. FIRSTWORLDPROBLEMS.

 

[Divvy]

YEEEEEAAAA ITS BACK. OH PRECIOUS LIGHT. HOW I MISSED THEE

OMG MY POWER IS BACK IS SUCH A THING EVEN POSSSIBLE FINALLLLYYY more than 5 hours. It was an ordeal guys. FIRSTWORLDPROBLEMS.

I had to subsist on some canned foie gras. What a nightmare.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

lol I quickly plugged in all my electronics for charging, not taking any risks. I even cooked some food for tomorrow JUST IN CASE.
