Toronto police said that part of Don Valley Parkway, which runs from the northern part of the city to downtown, was closed due to flooding and noted that part of Lakeshore Boulevard, which runs along Lake Ontario, was submerged and closed.

Toronto fire services stated that they rescued 14 people from flooding on the highway.
