Better keep your buckets and mops at the ready if you’re prone to flooding.
The Lakehead Region Conservation Authority (LRCA) continues with the flood warning for the Lakehead Region which includes Thunder Bay, Municipalities of Neebing, Oliver Paipoonge, Shuniah and the Townships of O’Connor, Conmee, Gillies and Dorion.
These areas received as much as 35 millimetres of rain overnight with the possibility of another 5-10mm more in the next 24 hours.
If you need to travel Thursday night keep an eye out for rapidly changing conditions as many roads have already been flooded.
The LRCA said that levels on the Whitefish River, Kaministiquia River, Current River and McIntyre River are all high and are expected to continue to rise as well.
Parents and caregivers are advised to keep children away from all waterways and discuss the hazards of cold fast flowing water.
