Rain Runoff Building On Streets And Roads

The commute home is going to be somewhat of a challenge - the heavy rain is translating to a lot of water on streets and roads in the greater Saint John area.  
Storm drains in some areas are having difficulty handling the runoff thanks to the volume of water and leaves blocking the outlets -- that means mini-lakes are beginning to appear in some low lying areas. 
Hydroplaning is also a distinct possibility on rain slicked highways - so slow and easy is the best approach for the drive home.
