A very wet weekend
It was a very wet weekend across northwestern Ontario, with the Kenora area
seeing the most rainfall.
About a months worth of rain fell in the city Saturday and Sunday,
while the Experimental Lakes area just east of the city had the largest
downpour, with 113.5 millimeters.
Bill Laidlaw from Signal Weather Services says were were expecting some rain this
past weekend, but perhaps not that much.
Sioux Narrows was also deluged with 94 millimeters of rain.
There was so much rain, that a section of Highway 71 just north of Sioux Narrows was covered in water, temporarily closing down that section of the road.
