Toronto floods cause chaos

Huge rainstorms have caused chaos in Toronto, Canada's largest city.

Around 300,000 people have been left without power after more than a month's worth of rain fell in just one day.

Major roads were left flooded, causing big problems for drivers - but it seems that so far no-one has been hurt.

The city's subway and train systems were also affected, hundreds of passengers had to be rescued by police boats after their train became flooded.
