Storm sewers backed up there resulting in a flood more than two metres deep.
There was also a lightning strike on Toke Street that destroyed a clothes line. Firefighters said damage was minimal.
The other big problem was a landslide near Southern Avenue and Reliable Street that snapped a hydro pole and exposed an underground natural gas line. (that's the 4-inch yellow pipe in the photo below) The landslide washed away about 40 metres of ground and created a new waterfall in Timmins. (click the photo above, waterfall is on the right) The waterfall only lasted a few hours. Utility crews are still working on the hydro pole and exposed gas line.
