Epic rainfall causes Toronto to flood (PHOTOS)

The record-breaking rainfall will continue until tomorrow night according to forecasts and already the city is starting to look like a giant swimming pool.

Island dwellers have already broken out their canoes. Jurassic Park is warning basketball tailgaters to stay home. The DVP will potentially shutter just as Friday night rush hour commences, and word is that Lower Simcoe is already underwater.

See what Toronto looks like as the city begins to flood. And, brace yourselves because tonight’s commute home could get real ugly.

The Club is as ready as they can be. The floating docks are deceiving! It’s the concrete breakwater in the distance that now sits no more than a few inches above the waterline that’s scary. #toronto #hypetoronto #cbcweather #rainto #blogto
