An intense overnight storm resulted in significant flooding across Toronto on Tuesday, with heavy rainfall inundating the mansion of famed rapper and singer Drake. The city experienced more than a month’s worth of rain within a few hours, leading to widespread disruptions and damage.
Toronto recorded over four inches of rain in a short period, causing severe flooding and power outages in parts of the city. Environment Canada had issued a severe thunderstorm warning before the storm.

Drake, who shared videos on Instagram of the damage, showed water rising above his ankles inside his mansion. The flooding scene inside Drake's home was dramatic, with water pooling on the floor, creating a chaotic and distressing environment.
The storm, which was partly fueled by the remnants of Hurricane Beryl, brought not only heavy rain but also strong winds that exacerbated the damage. Despite the flooding, no injuries have been reported, and cleanup efforts are already underway as the city braces for more possible rain later in the week.
