Flooding in Toronto caused power outages and general chaos in July. A major highway as well as other thoroughfares were flooded as the torrential rains tormented the city. Toronto Fire Services said it rescued 14 people from flooding on highways. “We’re actively rescuing people that are trapped in their cars or on top of their cars,” Deputy Fire Chief Jim Jessop said in a press conference. “We are triaging based on life safety.” There was flooding at a key transit terminus, Union Station. Water was seen pooling on the floor of a main concourse and stores at the station were closed. Parts of the underground PATH network, which connects to Union Station, were also closed due to flooding and stores lost power for a time. Subway trains were not stopping at Union, the Toronto Transit Commission said that afternoon. Some transit buses and streetcars were making detours on their regular routes across the city.
