Ahh that's nothing. It's not flooded. You're just driving your car into a lake!!

Derek: nah i passed by your house later that day, its not too bad. You should've seen the flooding on Steeles and Woodbine, the water was up to the doors, covering 3/4 of a typical sedan's wheels.

Some entrances to high ground parking lots were blocked by blown down structures, street signs, and plain flooding. Quite a few cars were flooded and stalled/scattered on the street.

Underground parking lots collected so much water i couldn't even see the vehicles

Funny how my 20 year old corolla (lowered too) steered through the hail storm and flood, but a IS300, 2005 Eclipse, Benz, and numerous 'high-end' cars just stalled dead in the flood.....go 4AGE!

here are a few pics, i got some videos too but dunno how to put them up

If only California would get that kind of storm now. It's too darn hot and dry here.

That's alot of water. It rained whole day yesterday and last night. It's funny cause I live in one of the best neighborhoods in the city and around here always flood.

damn those are some crazy storms... i got caught one time in some sick rain on the bike, yea... that sucked... i was scared shitless

***Eye8Pussies*** · 08-21-2005, 09:50 PM

I didn't know that it was THAT bad in the east end....wow...glad it wasn't like that over here in the west-end.....my cai would have sucked up enough to fill the engine

elvasoshexai · 08-22-2005, 12:30 PM

i heard it was SUPPOSED to hit the west-end (like sauga) but somehow the storm ended up on the east

it was funny.. because i was talking to my friend on msn while @ work (lawrence/don mills) and he was at home (birchmount/finch)... (like like 3-4pm)
he was like "wow... it's so white outside..."
i look out and i reply "what are you talking about? it looks like it's 11pm outside"
and we are both so confused... hah... then it starts hailing on his side and pouring on mine

then it starts hailing @ his house... when i got home my next door neighbour was like "the entire ground was white with over a centimeter of hail piled up on the ground!"
