Roadways in the River Road and Frederick Street area look more like rivers on Tuesday morning in Kitchener, as torrential rain hits the region.
Environment Canada issued the Waterloo Region with a rainfall warning, calling for a possible 100 mm of precipitation. It’s possible 40 mm of rain could fall an hour.
Localized flooding is possible as washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts could increase the water on roads. The Grand River Conservation Authority said people could expect flooding in low lying areas, whereas riverine flooding is not expected.
As the rain pounded the region people took to social media to showcase the horrendous driving and walking conditions.
