Flooding and road closures 
By Lincoln Louttit CA Source: CTV News 10/11/2018

Heavy rainfall in the Sault Ste. Marie area recently is causing major concerns for people north of the city.

Downey Creek is raging after rain in recent days. It has overflowed, putting people's homes in jeopardy.

Residents say it always runs steady, but sand, rocks and other debris from higher ground have caused water to overflow its banks.

"I wasn't here when it washed out, but my wife was. She was on the phone to me, she was crying and balling, she was freaking right out. An 85-foot tree went down nice and slow just into the creek. Thank
God it didn't fall on my building." said resident Sean Ahearn.
 

Joe Genys is a longtime resident of the area.

"I've been here 40 years, I've never seen this happen. This is the first and obviously we need some action. We're not getting any action from the ministry at all. We're not getting any action from anybody." said Genys.

People who live in the area say they've been in touch with both the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry and Ministry of Transportation.

As water erodes the banks near buildings and flows into homes, residents say nothing has been done to fix the problem.
