Toronto got dumped on with rain this afternoon. While I can’t verify any of the photos (except my own), I can report that I was in the monsoon for most of the afternoon and saw heavy flooding with my own eyeballs. Therefore, I can classify this as a real event for the few areas I waded through.
Feel bad for the people stuck on the train. Some have been stuck for many hours.

I think that the natural disasters being reported are occurring, I just think that they are greatly exaggerating the extent of damage in many cases.
