Everybody OK in the GTA?
 

Holy Sh!t! 4" of rain in 2 hours...looks like some major flooding. Hope everybody is OK.

Edit for news link: http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/07...-sudden-storm/

That was quite the ride home, stuck on Islington for an hour to 401, and then 401->400 was completely empty, by that time it was raining crazily. A friend who left 6:00PM~ said 401 off-ramps were flooded all the way up to the windows.

Also, saw a fellow Black BRZ parked at the GoodLife parking lot @Islington/Bloor KingsMill location, and white FRS on Yonge/Clark, anyone here?

All safe here in Brampton East. I'm lucky I work close to home. I wouldn't want to be in my FR-S caught in high water. I hope all you other guys are okay.

Thank god I called in sick today! Couldn't have picked a better day.

Anyone have their car flooded?

Luckily I live and work in Vaughan. No flooding here, just some heavy rainfall.

Some idiot drove his Ferrari full-speed into a flooded underpass - footage at CBC and pics here.

Yeah saw the pictures last night. Must have inherited the cash, no way a self made person would do something that stupid. Wait a second forgot about Martha Stewart, Conrad Black, Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan, Hernandez, ........ etc. I guess money doesn't by brains. Oh well, what a jack ass. Perhaps he thought he was 007.

Not really. If I was driving through there I wouldn't've had a clue the road dipped that much. You can't see the depth of the water. And the FR-S would be in the same spot if it got that deep into the water while running, I'm sure. All it would take is moving 50-60km/h and you'd have a drowned car before you could do anything about it.

You can see the sidewalk barrier barely changes height:

I was downtown just before the storm hit and saw a white fr-s on the gardiner eastbound at about 5:00pm.... it was hard to tell the depth of the water on the road when it was pouring rain as visibility was diminished. I left my buddys condo at 5:30 and crossed the intersection of dan leckie and lakeshore which was about waist deep in water.... took my brz thru at an angle and had a crowd of ppl under the bridge cheering me on lol.

If I had a California I'd drive it into a flood too to collect insurance money too.

I'm sorry but if I see a puddle 100 ft long and taking up the whole width of the underpass, and I am in a super low sports car. You have to think maybe trying to cross is a bad idea. Hell I don't even go through puddles that cover the roads around my house.

Wonder if someone is working on. A snorkle yet for the 86...

Brave man. I left lakeshore/bathurst area at 5:30 and the water was about 8 inches high going west where the Indy barricades are. Glad I left when did. Only took me an hour to get to Sauga.

Funny stuff. I think he did it right though. What use is it sitting watching the water completely flood the car. Might as well go and get your job done (that earned him the right to afford such a car in the first place).
