The scene in Port Dover looked like it was straight out of an apocalyptic movie.

Erie Shore Drive in Chatham-Kent Ontario saw intense waves crashing onto its shores.

The resulting flooding left streets underwater.

Elsewhere in Ontario, the rain made driving incredibly difficult with almost no visibility.

The intense wind also made for dangerous conditions in the province, where some would have to avoid moving objects.
