SEVERE THUNDER STORM FLOODS TORONTO

KING JESUS IS COMING FOR US ANY TIME NOW. THE RAPTURE. BE PREPARED TO GO.

STORMS HURRICANES-TORNADOES

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear,(TORNADOES,HURRICANES,STORMS) and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth:(DESTRUCTION) for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.(FROM QUAKES,NUKES ETC)

THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.

I WONDER IF THIS FLOODING WAS A RESULT OF TORONTO HAVING A WEEK PLUS OF GAY PRIDE CELEBRATIONS FROM JUNE 21-30.THIS COULD BE THE REASON TORONTO GOT A MONTH OF RAIN ALMOST 2 MONTHS OF RAIN IN 2 HOURS.

Severe thunderstorms cause flooding, blackouts, havoc on roads around GTA

Severe thunderstorms that have caused flooding and power outages around the city Monday will likely exceed 100 mm of total rainfall before it tapers off later this evening.

Severe thunderstorms that have caused flooding and power outages around the city Monday will likely exceed 100 mm of total rainfall before it tapers off later this evening, according to Environment Canada.
Meteorologists from Environment Canada are tracking a slow moving cluster of thunderstorms capable of producing localized flash flooding.The amount of rainfall has beaten the previous one-day rainfall record of 29.2 mm in 2008 and trounced the roughly 70 mm monthly average for July.The thunderstorms are over the Mississauga and Brampton regions and moving slowly eastward toward Markham, Richmond Hill and Toronto.Toronto Hydro said as many as 300,000 people are without power around the city. Earlier in the day they said the storm had hit Etobicoke hard.They added that crews are out and assessing the damage.
Enersource said roughly 80 per cent of Mississauga, with a population of more than 700,000, is without power.Powerstream said roughly 29,000 people in Markham and Richmond Hill are still without power after a loss of supply from Hydro One’s transformer station in Buttonville.Due to severe flooding there is no TTC service at Downsview to St. Clair West, St. Andrew to Bloor, Lawrence to Finch, Jane to Kipling, and the Sheppard Line.The TTC has stopped all subways due to signal and power issues throughout the city. Parts of Union Station have been sandbagged in order to stem the flow of water.TTC Chair Karen Stintz said they have asked Hydro One to consider TTC a priority in regards to restoring power. She said it is hard to determine how many people are trapped underground on the subway system.The Toronto Region Conservation Authority also warned that the banks of the Don River were at risk of collapse in the area of Hoggs Hollow in the area of Yonge St. and York Mills.Metrolinx said buses and trains have been affected due to severe rain throughout Greater Toronto and Hamilton area.A portion of the track west of Long Branch is completely under water, which is making it difficult to operate GO trains along the Lakeshore West line.A GO train is also partially submerged on the Richmond Hill line that left Union around rush hour. The murky brown water, which spilled through the bottom floor of the train has left passengers stuck for roughly three hours.Toronto police’s Marine Unit has arrived on scene and they are evacuating passengers, starting with those who have medical issues.Metrolinx spokeswoman Vanessa Thomas said the power was shut off and windows were opened on the train, which can carry up to 1,900 commuters during the evening rush.
All flights at Billy Bishop Airport have now been suspended due to the storm, according to Pamela McDonald, spokeswoman for the Toronto Port Authority.The ferry service has been suspended for passengers travelling to the airport, but arriving passengers are being transported.The Don Valley Parkway is closed northbound and southbound from the Gardiner to Bayview and Bloor due to flooding.Toronto police said significant rainfall has caused the banks of the Don River to overflow. They are urging people to stay at home if they can.Toronto police and Toronto Fire have said there have been no injuries due to the storm. Toronto Fire also said that they received around 300 stacked calls in regards to the rain.Toronto EMS are recommending people do not travel if they can as cars are creating obstacles for paramedics. They also said they have received a large number of people stuck in elevators.The Toronto Region Conservation Authority also warned that the banks of the Don River were at risk of collapse in the area of Hoggs Hollow in the area of Yonge St. and York Mills.Yorkdale and Sherway Gardens are both closed due to power failures.
Toronto’s Fringe Festival has also cancelled their performances tonight. They tweeted that the “priority is artist, staff and audience safety.”Earlier Monday afternoon, Environment Canada issued two special weather statements — one for thunderstorms over southern Ontario and the other for local heavy downpours.
Environment Canada also recommends drivers avoid going through water on roads as even shallow fast moving water can sweep a vehicle away.With files from The Canadian Press-THE TORONTO STAR

Ontario's premier was embraced as the VIP of what's billed as Canada's largest gay pride parade, alongside a host of other political figures and colourful characters celebrating equality.Premier Kathleen Wynne, the first openly gay premier and the first sitting premier to attend the festivities, dodged water guns and frisbees as thousands of supporters of the gay and lesbian community chanted her name and reached over barriers to touch her in the city's downtown core.Standing on garbage cans and climbing atop roofs along Toronto's Yonge St., crowds estimated in the hundreds of thousands by Toronto police sprayed water and waved rainbow flags in celebration of what has traditionally been the largest event of its kind in the country.
Wynne was joined by NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and former Ontario premier Bob Rae at a church service held before the parade to kick off the day's festivities."For me it's a really central part of this celebration," she said, adding that she and her partner Jane Rounthwaite had attended the church services for the past 20 years."I think that it's a very important part. The music is fantastic, it's inspirational and it really gives people a sense of the community and being together."The outdoor event, which focused on the theme of "celebrating everyone," saw people singing and dancing to music as they packed the church grounds."There's still a lot of discrimination against the community and it's important to show that diversity is something to be respected and celebrated and it's going to be a great day to do it," said Mulcair.Trudeau marched alongside Wynne and Rae in the parade, waving a rainbow flag and getting soaked by the crowd."It's my first time [at the event] in Toronto, I've celebrated many times in Montreal, but the energy here is just astounding. It's wonderful to see such celebration, such positivity and such pride," said Trudeau."Around the world people don't have the same rights and showing that it doesn't have to be that way and reminding people that they're not alone and that we have a community here that is fighting for rights and fairness and equality — this is what we stand for as a community and this is what we have to continue fighting for."Rae said before the parade that although he had retired from politics, he still felt it was important to attend the event because he was among neighbours and friends and is very glad to be a part of the community."30 or 40 years ago for a kid to come out to his parents was a huge, huge ordeal and many kids ran away from home and many kids were not able to be themselves for a long time," he said."We're now seeing that change and this has become an event of celebration for the whole city and you're going to see that all day — it's quite fantastic."New Democrat MPs Craig Scott and Olivia Chow were also in attendance at the church event and were later joined by Mulcair and other Toronto-area politicians on the NDP float in the parade."It's an inspiration, it talks about love, it talks about equality and justice," said Chow, who added that if her late husband former NDP Leader Jack Layton were still alive, he wouldn't have missed it."I think politicians should play a small role in making everyone feel proud of who they are. And it sends a very clear signal that discrimination and hatred have no place in this country or this world."Chow added the fact that Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was noticeably absent from the festivities was "up to him," adding that she hoped he is enjoying his time at his cottage.The mayor has said his family tradition of a cottage gathering on the Canada Day long weekend keeps him from attending the popular street event — a reason some in the gay community have called a flimsy excuse.It's the third time in as many years that Ford has missed the event, although he did attend last week's flag raising ceremony to commence Pride Week.
