lex harvey, CNN


Canadian rapper Drake shared a video of him wading through what appears to be his waterlogged Toronto mansion Tuesday, after the city was hit by a torrential rainstorm that caused widespread flooding and power outages.

More rain fell in a four-hour period Tuesday in Canada’s largest city than Toronto’s average rainfall for the month of July, submerging city streets, shuttering highways and subway stations, and leaving tens of thousands of people without power.

More than 97 millimeters (about 3.82 inches) of rain were recorded at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, the airport wrote on X Tuesday afternoon, making it the fifth wettest day ever recorded. Tuesday also shattered the previous rainfall record for July 16, set in 1941 when 25.9 millimeters (1 inch) fell at the airport, the post said.

Record-setting storms have wreaked havoc across the Caribbean and parts of North America this summer. Hurricane Beryl – the earliest Category 5 hurricane ever observed in the Atlantic – caused widespread damage in Grenada and Jamaica this month, killing at least nine people, before unleashing flooding, rains and winds in Texas.

Beryl knocked out power to more than 2.5 million homes and left at least eight people dead in Texas and Louisiana.

The storm left 167,000 Toronto Hydro customers without power at one point, according to an update from the city.

Photos showed cars floating on a highway east of the city. And rain leaked through the ceiling at City Hall, the Toronto Star reported. Meanwhile, a pedestrian tunnel connecting air travelers to the city’s Billy Bishop airport, which is located on an island, flooded, the airport said on X.

Scientists have long warned that extreme weather events, affecting countries across the world, are becoming increasingly common as the climate crisis accelerates.
“We really, seriously, have to deal with climate change, because these kinds of days are going to be a lot more frequent,” Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said in a news conference.

Toronto’s aging infrastructure makes it more vulnerable to flooding, Chow added.

DANGERS OF MARRYING AN ALREADY MADE MAN!!!

Image
Dangers of marrying an ALREADY MADE man!!! You see many girls are more interested in marrying boys who are doing well financially.  To them husband material is one with a good job, car and house.  Most of them do not realize that very few successful young men will bend for marriage.  They do not consider the dangers of marrying a man who’s life you have not contributed anything.  You just want to enter there and enjoy all the good things. What a shame ! Dangers of marrying already made men ; 1. They don’t change for any woman. If you found him taking alcohol, he will continue.  If you found him womanizing he will continue womanizing that comfort zone cannot be abolished by marriage. 2. You will have little say on what he has. When an already established man marries you, he doesn’t consider you as a person to value but a property to keep.  He will be counting you among the things he owns.  Many girls are treated like things and not humans because they l...

PRESS STATEMENT 27th August, 2024 GOVERNOR SHERIFF OBOREVWORI HAS NOT BORROWED A DIME  The Delta State Government notes with serious concern some reports in some online media platforms alleging that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori borrowed the sum of N40billion soon after assuming office. The reports are not only misleading, but also capable of creating misunderstanding and confusion in the State.

Repayable over a five-year period, the loan is to be repaid through direct debits to the Local Government Councils.  Also read   https:...

Full Text Of President Bola Tinubu’s Protest National Address. “My fellow Nigerians, “1. I speak to you today with a heavy heart and a sense of responsibility, aware of the turmoil and violent protests unleashed in some of our states. “2. Notably among the protesters were young Nigerians who desired a better and more progressive country where their dreams, hopes, and personal aspirations would be fulfilled. “3. I am especially pained by the loss of lives in Borno, Jigawa, Kano, Kaduna and other states, the destruction of public facilities in some states, and the wanton looting of supermarkets and shops, contrary to the promise of protest organisers that the protest would be peaceful across the country. The destruction of properties sets us back as a nation, as scarce resources will be again used to restore them. “4. I commiserate with the families and relations of those who have died in the protests. We must stop further bloodshed, violence and destruction. “5. As President of this cou...
