Flooding, power outages reported as heavy rain hits Ottawa

Environment Canada recorded more than 75 millimetres of rainfall

A thunderstorm brought heavy rain, hail and power outages to parts of Ottawa Thursday, forcing some people to abandon their vehicles on flooded roads.

Ottawa Police Service and Ottawa Fire Services warned of road closures Thursday afternoon and said they had to direct traffic and move submerged vehicles.

Environment Canada issued severe thunderstorm warnings for the Ottawa-Gatineau area earlier Thursday, warning a line of storms could hit the region from around midday into the evening.

The agency lifted the warnings and watches in the Ottawa-Gatineau region shortly after 5 p.m.

As of about 4 p.m., Environment Canada said Ottawa's climate weather station recorded 75.5 millimetres of rainfall in the previous six hours.
