There was very little to do but head for cover this July Sunday as heavier than expected rain hit the city about four o’clock. At 6.30 p.m. it was still hammering down on Moore Ave. The rain turned the Queen’s Plate into a muddy contest and pretty much shut down the second day of the Corso Italia event. Gardening was relegated to “next week”. South Bayview was quiet and soggy in the face of an estimated 40 millimetres of rain. The weather agency issued a special statement at 4:21 p.m. on Sunday advising of “local heavy downpours” that could bring 30 to 40 millimetres of rain to affected areas in less than an hour. The CBC picked off a Tweet pic from “Aaron” of a foreboding Cityscape as the rain came in.
