According to Environment Canada, the torrential rain has left over 100,000 Canadians without power, with Toronto's four inches of rain breaking the city's rainfall record from 1941.
Drake appeared to have a member of his house staff trying to hold a door closed to safeguard part of his wardrobe while he walked through the flooded mess with a mop stick, which was ineffective at this point.
Despite the problematic scenario, the rapper seemed to keep a positive attitude, joking about the brownish water when he said:
"This better be Espresso Martini."
Meanwhile, it has been reported that Drake's mansion has seen a lot of action in recent months, including a drive-by shooting and several suspected trespassers following his feud with Kendrick Lamar.
Watch the video he shared on his Insta story:
