Gearhead- glad it worked out. What's the story with that 435?
Apparently the car was floating in the water and they had to be rescued by the fire department which is no laughing matter.

Glad everything went ok and no one was hurt.

BTW, where abouts was this flood? I didn't think it was that bad on Thursday night? The only places in TO I have seen flooded was lower DVP and Bayview extension...

Cheers.

My wife's lake was on Huntingwood west of Birchmount about a km from home.I have never seen it flood in that spot before in the 30 years that we have lived in that area.She drove up from downtown & said she she drove through about 8 or 9 really well flooded spots.I do not know where the 435 met its end.

Wait a sec, did you wife "actually" drove through 8-9 floods or just through the area but was not flooded? If it was the former, I am not surprise the car ended up in the shape it did...
