Great article with video attachments about the flood in Toronto and how transit users survived it

On our car, the window on one side was removed and the emergency personnel floated a small dinghy alongside the train in order to remove the woman who had the asthma attack earlier. They had room on the boat and the rescuers said they could take three more passengers, providing they were female. Are you listening, Gloria Steinem?
They came and they left quickly, and we went back to waiting for rescue. A mildly disgruntled Russian man decided to remove the large window on the other side of our car and he actually threw the heavy glass pane into the water outside. “Hey, let them go look for it in Lake Ontario,” he huffed.
