Tuesday's enormous storm was not without shitty consequences. Around Sunnyside Beach, the hard and fast rainfall caused a storm sewer to overflow, spilling sewage and rainwater onto the beach, flooding the park and grass, pushing up the boardwalk, and forcing the city to close the beach and nearby Sunnyside Gus-Ryder Pool. While the beach is still closed as the city makes sure things are safe, parents are back to dropping the kids off at the pool—it's been back open since yesterday. Photographer Christopher Drost beautifully documented the aftermath, and his photos are above.

A partially demolished building at Lake Shore and Bathurst makes way for another condo development.

A morning crash has closed off a Gardiner exit ramp and yesterday's burst water main repairs continue to block motorists. Workers will be reconstructing Lake Shore Boulevard over the next 24 hours. Burst water mains will be around for awhile: Toronto has one of the highest failure rates for water mains in Canada. Toronto's backlog of repairs to the system will take about 8 years to flush out.
