The wild weather causing a few problems around town. Barricades are up at the entrance to Saints Rest Beach. Water levels have also risen around Market Square and on South Market Street. The Saint John area could wind up getting more than 100 millimeters when it's all said and done. The Director of Saint John Works, Shane Galbraith tells CHSJ News that amount of water could very well cause problems in those areas of the city that are prone to flooding.
Galbraith says usually in the Glen Falls area says we usually see some flooding with this amount of rain but, it depends on how much capacity the creek system has.
Germain Street between King and Union Streets was closed as well after a window blew out in the Bell Aliant Tower. Police also closed Chipman Hill after some flashing blew off the City Hall building.
Red Head Road is now open to traffic. Municipal Operations crews have removed the storm debris from the road.
