Southeastern Manitoba deals with flooding after heavy rainfall
People in parts of southeastern Manitoba are dealing with overland flooding after heavy rain swamped the region Monday into Tuesday.
Stephen Berg, a meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada, said a slew of thunderstorms started rolling into southeastern Monday morning, bringing heavy rainfall and a tornado warning for the region on Monday afternoon.
Elma, a community in the Whiteshell area in eastern Manitoba, got the highest amount of rain in the province, with 205 millimetres recorded over a 36-hour period, Berg said Tuesday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Environment Canada said the city of Steinbach had 156 millimetres of rain between Monday and Tuesday, leading to overland flooding and some road closures.
Heavy rains also hit some communities further west, with Winkler getting 133 millimetres, according to Environment Canada.
“This is quite an event,” said Berg. “You’d expect an event like this one once every 120 years, 130 years or more.”
In the rural municipality of Hanover, some roads were closed Tuesday due to washouts, an update on the RM’s website said.
Reeve Jim Funk said the RM got multiple reports of basement flooding on Tuesday due to heavy rainfall.
One resident reported walking through nearly waist-high water on a road in the community of Kleefeld, he told CBC Tuesday afternoon.
Funk said the RM is using pumping water from ditches and storm sewers to mitigate the impact of flooding.
The rural municipality is also offering sandbags for residents facing the threat of flooding throughout the afternoon, adding reports of flooded farmland and drainage ditches running full are not considered emergencies at this time.
Berg said more rain is expected for southeastern Manitoba this week, with the risk of more thunderstorms Wednesday.
Southern Manitoba communities like Mitchell were flooded Tuesday after heavy rainfall. Shelley Gross shot this video from a canoe in the area around Reichenbach Road in Mitchell, a community west of Steinbach.
