Heavy rain caused havoc in Saskatoon Monday afternoon, with some streets flooded. The downpour caused flooding, at least temporarily, along Broadway and ...

"The airport has reported less than a millimetre of rain," Lang said. "I would think it's a safety hazard to people and traffic issues as well." "City crews will be working throughout the evening and overnight to to address [any flood-related issues]," said Gardiner, adding the city is aware of flooding on Circle Drive between College and Taylor Street, Preston Avenue South and McEwen Avenue. City of Saskatoon general manager of utilities and environment Angela Gardiner said the heaviest rain fell on the southeast and north end areas of the city. "That's why other parts of the city saw nothing and they couldn't understand why there are reports of flooding in other parts." "And we've had reports in the south of the city of 50 to 60 millimetres of rain in probably two hours."

The rain hit hard and unexpectedly for many Saskatoon residents. Water levels rose by not just inches, but feet in some locations.

“It looks like things have finally cleared up, and most of the energy of the storm has moved out of the way,” she said. This is more typical of how we have June on the prairies.” Lang said the east and south east parts of the city saw between 45 to 75 millimeters of rain.

Heavy rainfall across Saskatoon on Monday resulted in flooded streets and underpasses around the city. "What o...

Thille said there appeared to be three or four feet of water in the garage. “Cars had been trying to go through the intersections and then were stalling out because water was getting into their cars.” Water level came up the driveways about 6-7 feet. “If the report said cloudy, that likely was occurring at our station at the airport, which did not receive a lot of rain,” Desjardins said. It looks like there was a really big difference between the north and the south end of the city.” “Barricades are in place at some of these intersections but we do ask that you avoid areas altogether if at all possible. “It’s really bad weather right now,” he said. “There’s police in the area now that are directing cars away from intersections that are particularly bad, but there’s still a lot of abandoned cars that are just stalled out and unfortunately, they’re going to be a little waterlogged,” she said. Clarence Neufeld was near Eighth and Taylor and said the road was flooded, with cars stalled in the water that had pooled. Police were asking residents to steer clear of the areas and to use caution in areas that were experiencing flooding. One man at the corner of Eighth and McKercher said the water was up past the tires on his car. “That was likely what was occurring where the heaviest precipitation was occurring south of the station.

Portions of Circle drive and several locations near Louise Street and Preston Drive are among areas reported to police as flooded.
