The downpour overwhelmed pumping stations in Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa causing toilets, showers and floor drains to overflow in some neighbourhoods. “The toilet was just overflowing, it was like a geyser,” said Whitby resident Sue Lytwyn. Ms. Lytwyn and her husband Bil fought the flow, eventually opening the door of their walkout basement so the water could flow out. For the Annes Street residents, this was Jason Liebregts/ News Advertiser photo the third flood in eight years.
