When It Rains It Pours

The rain came down hard late on Tuesday evening with the streets filled with run-off and at times the roadway being hard for drivers to see.

The end result were some drivers running onto the occasional lawn, knocking over a lamp post or stranded in an instant lake where the storm sewers were overwhelmed.

At the time of this reports publication no rainfall amount was available.
