Oct 29 2018, 10:53 pm

Last night, a sudden and chaotic blast of rainfall brought localized flooding and deterioratingĀ conditions to Metro Vancouver.

A number of streets were swallowed in water, leaving cars stalled, stranded, and abandoned across the downtown core.

The torrential downpour caused the Vancouver Police to close down 2nd Avenue between the Cambie Street Bridge and Main Street.

Here are some photos and videos showing the worst of yesterday’s flooding:
