Earlier this morning, the weather forecast in Vancouver called for heavy winds and heavy rain. Now some streets of Metro Vancouver are flooded and cars are underwater.
There is currently a rainfall warning in the area and precipitation from 40 to 60 mm can be observed. What's more, the weather forecast in Vancouver requires a long rain to follow.
A number of Twitter users share images of heavy floods, and some of them show cars that are flooded above the top of their tires.
So it happens outside of my office. #BCstorm pic.twitter.com/pucuDvdYb2
