Rain Wreaks Havoc On City

The police getting lots of calls about the rain and flooding, so make sure to drive slowly if you're out and about today.

Traffic is being diverted on Rothesay Avenue because of the amount of water, and on the Loch Lomond Road near the Loch Lomond Villa a number of manhole covers have been lifted completely off from the pressure of the water.

City crews are aware and you're advised to be extremely careful if in the area. The highway near the Foster Thurston has also been reported as a particularly bad area.

A heavy rainfall warning is in effect for the region, with local amounts expected to reach 50 millimetres in one hour.
