A flood warning has been issued for the Greater Toronto Area because all watercourses in the area are flowing higher and faster than normal. The TRCA says the Lower Don River, alone, has received 40 mm of rainfall in the last 12 hours and is experiencing high water levels and volumes. That volume of water could cause flooding near ravines, areas that are low lying and next to watercourses, including some roadways. People in the area should watch out for threatening weather conditions, including wind gusts of up to 100 kilometres per hour. The federal weather agency says, if you are facing dangerous weather conditions, including the possible tornadoes, you should take cover in the lowest floor of a building away from windows and doors.
