Drake's Mansion Flooded: Latest Update on Toronto Storm

Drake 's Toronto Mansion Flooded During Severe Rainfall

A violent storm recently hit the Toronto metro area , leaving over 100,000 citizens without power . Even the famous rapper , Drake , was not spared as his Toronto estate experienced severe flooding during the storm . The heavy rainfall caused at least one floor of Drake 's mansion to be completely flooded , with ankle - deep water rushing in as seen in a video posted on his Instagram Story.

As the storm wreaked havoc , Drake maintained a light - hearted reaction to the situation , making jokes about the expensive bill he will face to fix the damages caused by the record - breaking torrential downpour . He even humorously compared the brown tint of the water to one of his favorite cocktails . Fans also had fun at Drake 's expense on social media , reacting to the unfortunate incident with playful comments.

The severe rainfall in Toronto was so intense that it broke the city 's rainfall record dating back to 1941 . Environment Canada reported that nearly four inches of rain fell in Toronto due to the combination of three separate storms . Despite the unprecedented rainfall , the worst seems to be over as no significant rain is expected to accumulate for the rest of the day.

Authorities had to make at least 14 rescues due to the flooding , and they continue to assess the damages to highways and properties in the area . The city experienced 25 percent more rain in just three hours than it would typically receive in the entire month of July . Local meteorologist Dave Phillips highlighted the impact of the thunderstorms and systems that moved through the region.

Drake Considers Relocating After Flooding Incident

The heavy rainfall and flooding in Toronto have led Drake to signal a potential change in location . The rapper recently purchased a sprawling ranch in Brenham , Texas , for 5 million , signaling a possible shift away from Ontario . The 313 - acre property , originally constructed as a family retreat in 2000 , was converted into a luxurious estate known as The Inn at Dos Brisas.

Drake hinted at plans to settle outside of Ontario during a performance last year , and his recent real estate venture in Texas may indicate a step towards that direction . The ranch features world - class equestrian facilities , an organic farm , Spanish - style architecture , and numerous luxurious amenities . With picturesque views and top - notch amenities , Drake 's new property in Texas could serve as a potential new home for the rapper.
