Due to the recent rain and warm temperatures, one Ontario town is being evacuated by police after severe flooding in the area. The town of Bolton, which is along the Humber River, is experiencing high amounts of flooding which began yesterday according to the OPP. On Twitter, the OPP announced last night that King St and Queen St in downtown Bolton were flooding and at that time some residents were beginning to be evacuated and they asked people to avoid that area completely. They later revealed that the flooding was due to the Humber River overflowing its banks.

The jams have caused blockages in the flow of the river, causing the water to run up onto the banks. Combining with melting ice and snow and yesterdays rain, this is not a good situation for Bolton. Caledon also reported that while the fire department and heavy equipment is on the scene to break up some of this ice, the evacuation orders that were put in place last night remain in effect this morning. It's not clear how many people have been forced from their homes, but CP24 reports that several houses and one apartment building have been evacuated. The OPP and the Town of Caledon have been sharing their photos of the flooding on Twitter.
