We&#8217;ve only been here for five years but our road is closed because it&#8217;s underwater,&#8221; Graham Cubitt said. &#8220;I talked to someone yesterday who has lived here for 20 years and they haven&#8217;t seen the water this high.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>He co-owns the Paisley Mill, which he said currently has eight feet or 2.4 meters of water in the basement. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We got lazy because we hadn&#8217;t seen water like this for years, and stuff was stacked there, so we&#8217;re going to have to do a whole lot of cleanup now.

(Graham Cubitt\/Facebook)<\/p>\n<p>County officials issued a warning Wednesday urging people travelling to be cautious if they encounter flooded roads, as moving and deep water could sweep vehicles off the roads. <\/p>\n<p>They said their road maintenance crews were working with the Ontario Provincial Police to help with localized flooding. <\/p>\n<p>Flooding has been a concern across southwestern Ontario this past week when temperatures rose into the double digits following a winter with significant snow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":534138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[49,48,295,66],"class_list":{"0":"post-534137","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-environment","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-environment","11":"tag-science"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=534137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534137\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/534138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=534137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=534137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=534137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
