Major motorways in Toronto have reopened and clean-up efforts are underway after a string of storms flooded parts of the city, cut power and left drivers stranded.
According to power company, Toronto Hydro, nearly 5,000 people are still without power as of Wednesday morning, down from 167,000 on Tuesday.
Environment Canada reported that almost 4 inches of rain fell in Toronto on Tuesday, surpassing the city's daily record set in 1941.
Images and videos showed cars and a section of Canadian Rapper, Drake's Toronto home submerged.
Toronto's city manager Paul Johnson said the focus is on clean-up and how to rebuild the city's aging infrastructure in a flood-resilient way - a costly undertaking that would take years to complete.
