In the span of three hours, Toronto was hit by three thunderstorms, bringing a record amount of rain that caused massive flooding across the city, according to a senior meteorologist with Environment Canada.

"July is typically the second rainiest, second wettest month. Well we had 25 per cent more rain in three hours than we'd have normally in the whole month of July with all the thunderstorms and systems that moved through," Meteorologist Dave Phillips said in an interview with CP24 Tuesday afternoon.
