Toronto’s city manager says little could be done to prevent the widespread flooding caused by Tuesday’s record-breaking rainfall, adding that the city “is not designed” to handle these type of storms.

Major highways have now reopened and hydro has been restored to the vast majority of homes and businesses in Toronto following the Tuesday’s deluge that left roadways and buildings across the city inundated with water.

A section of the Don Valley Parkway was closed for about 18 hours along with a stretch of the Gardiner Expressway and Bayview Avenue, which remained closed on Wednesday.
