Freak Storm Shuts Down Toronto
Flash floods, blackouts, "summer snow day"
Torontonians are faced with a snarled morning commute today and widespread power outages after an evening of traffic chaos caused by torrential rainfall.
Hydro One said that of about 300,000 people affected, only about 30,000-40,000 had their power restored as of midnight ET due to "significant flooding" at two of its transmission stations.
