    Toronto Flooded

    So... Yeah. Photos here at reddit and more news at Google.ca (that's .ca, not .com, player!).

    I was driving a customer in the 5-6 pm hour last night when it rained 74mm, which is the monthly average for July in Toronto. It was quite an adventure.

    Yesterday was the single day record of rainfall for the city via Toronto Pearson International Airport: 126mm. That beats out the 123mm Hurricane Hazel dumped on Toronto on October 1954.

    Our basement is dry but all our neighbours were not as fortunate. Some of them were knee deep on water. Wow.messed up day yesterday.

    Glad to hear you're okay!

    Calgary got some pretty bad flooding too, weird weather we're all having here.

    NY is having a heat wave while wildfires are going like crazy in Arizona.

    If someone hasn't at least attempted to register the .cat TLD then there's something fundamentaly wrong with my understanding of the world.

    It is Catalunya's TLD, actually.

    They could triple the GDP of the region through domain registration sales.

    Glad to hear you, and your folks, are okay.
    Kitdy, the time has come for the CitiGolf to become the AmphiGolf. You need to cruise down the 401 with your head sticking out of the sunroof, aviators, and a captain's hat.

    Why is this URL unclaimed?

    "No. My Finnish is fine; I am from Finland. Do you have any water?"

    Something about taking pride in one's culture or something. Those crazy cats.

    Sometimes water is the biggest friend and one of the cruel enemy. Glad to know that everyone's ok. Why the discussion on some CAT URL? Is it even relevant?

    After chilling around the 15°(-10°C) mark for a while last week, it decided to be 60°(15C) and rainy yesterday. It was some sort of chinook, as you Canadians would call it.

    Is your basement frozen?
