Rain, strong winds cause flooding in Lighthouse Cove

LAKESHORE, Ont. -- The flood watch is now over, but not before soaking some local communities.

Lower Thames Conservation Authority employee Jason Homewood posted a video of the flooding in Lighthouse Cove.

Water was covering the road and properties, due to the strong winds off Lake St. Clair.

Both the Lower Thames Conservation Authority and the Essex Region Conservation Authority warned of flooding and erosion yesterday.

As the snow starts to fall, its time to leave Lighthouse Cove. Water was still on/over Island Cresent, Canal Street, and parts of Melody Drive and Penninsula Street. #ltvca #lakeshore #lighthousecove pic.twitter.com/zSEaF7DYtc
