Niagara hit with heavy rains, thunderstorms and hail

We are starting to get a clearer picture of the damage caused by yesterday's storm.

No reports of hail damage yet but people and businesses are starting to post pictures of flooding caused by the deluge of rain that hit Niagara around the dinner hour.

There are also reports of flooded sheds, overflowing pools and water laden planters.

The heavy rain forced the OPP to close the QEW at Glendale yesterday evening because of flooding on the highway.

There were also reports of large pools of water in the McLeod and Kalar Road area.
