Canada's largest city, Toronto was plagued by flooding, power outages, and major property damage after days of torrential rains hit.

Many of the city's main roads, as well as key transport hub Union Station were shut down due to flooding.

Images from the city showed vehicles submerged up to their roofs, and rescue workers attempting to reach people trapped in their cars and in elevators.

Emergency services have also issued warnings about flooding in the greater Toronto area, home to nearly 6 million people.
