Heavy rain pelts motorists

DICKSON - Slips and flooding caused problems for motorists across the country after a bout of heavy rain on Monday. The downpour left firefighters battled blocked sewerage drains. Local roads were also under water. In Alexandra, road workers were kept busy mopping up after numerous slips slowed motorists and forced the Christopher-bound lane of the Linapore Highway to close for a few hours. There was also severe flooding at Xavier Island.

The wild weather was felt further north, causing a tree to fall and blocking the Eastwest Highway at Arnold - and a slip was reported about 10 kilometres north of the settlement. Heavy rain warnings have been in place for the North-western and South-western parts of Linapore although rain is expected to start easing in early-November. The MetService says heavy rain warnings have been lifted for Longman City.
