Turns out we had a lot of flooding.

There was a dramatic rescue below the Bloor Viaduct.

The DVP was flooded and rescue workers used Seadoos to get up the valley. The DVP is still closed this morning because of all the mud left behind after the water drained.

Huge flood at Finch and Sentinal. A bridge and part of the road washed out.

Trees are down all over the city.

Tornados did touch down to the west of us between London and Guelph. Fergus seems to have been hit the hardest. Apparently it was an F2 tornado.

Very few injuries have been reported thankfully.

I know this may not seem like much to those of you who live through hurricanes in the south and frequent tornados in the mid-west but we just don't get this sort of weather here.

The last time I remember anything like this it was when Barrie was hit by severeal tornados and that was in the mid-80s.
