While the remnants of Hurricane Beryl have made their way out of southwestern Ontario, conservation officials are warning residents to steer clear of local waterways.
The St Clair Region Conservation Authority has issued a flood watch, with some areas along the watershed received as much as 80mm of rain over the past day or so.
It is expected that the flows in Strathroy and Alvinston will peak sometime this afternoon. Due to the increase in runoff localized flooding in low-lying areas; floodplain, agricultural and parkland is anticipated.
As water levels continue to rise, the following roads may become impacted:
Stanley Line between Kimball Road and Waubuno Road
Wabuno Road between Bickford Line and Oil Springs Line
Pretty Road north of McCallum Line
Waterworks Road north of Courtright Line
Tefler Road between Courtright Line and Moore Line
Residents are reminded to stay away from waterways and flooded areas due to potentially dangerous conditions.
