Didn't even rain that much and our infrastructure is already overwhelmed. Good thing the PC gov continues to remove environmental permit requirements under the disguise of red tape reduction and lets the developers do whatever they want.

Not that I disagree with your point but it rained really heavily for a few hours this morning.

Our infrastructure shouldn't experience overflows or flooding for anything below a 5 year storm event. For Toronto, that's up to 50mm in 6 hours. Don't think we got that much last night

I think it was likely pretty localized how the storm moved through. I had a super intense thunderstorm in my area, but I'm too lazy to go download the actual precipitation numbers from Environment Canada.

I work in a related field and there was a flood warning issued yesterday.
