Hi, this probably won't help, but whatever. I live in North York now, but in 1992 I lived on Maitland Ave, just off Yonge just south of Wellesley, when the Dudley Laws riot happened. I didn't even know, until my friends started phoning me up to see if I was okay. And then I watched it on TV. These things happen. They suck. But the most important thing is, you're okay, and the city will recover. In '92, I loved walking up Yonge street the day after, looking at the plywood over broken windows on the stores who presumably normally sold stuff to the rioters, with "thanks to all our fans" spray-painted on them, and the like. Toronto is resilient, it will recover.
Oh, and the Don River is in flood. We went out on the local golf course to see it overflow the banks this evening.
