Best Answer (Code 50)

 

->Last December Toronto, Ontario suffered at the hands of Mother Nature. There was a huge snowstorm that left the citizens buried under four feet of snow.

->Schools and workplaces had to be shut down so the city could decide what to do and how to fix the mess.

-> It took me over three hours to clear my driveway, and another half hour to clear my car," says one citizen, Mary Hathaway.

-> Another local citizen, Logan Hodd, gave us his thoughts. "I woke up the first morning and looked out the window. My first thought was 'the kids are going to have a snowday'. Then I got a call from my boss telling me not to come in today. My wife got the day off too. We spent the rest of the day trying to clear our driveway"!

->A man who helped plough the roads gave us his opinion as well. "The snow on the roads was four feed deep and heavy. It took over three days and a million dollars to get it all cleared up."

-> The people of Toronto really suffered the wrath of Mother Nature. Fortunately no one was hurt and no basements flooded.
