Description
This is a photograph of Water Street by the Quarry during a flood in March 1977. You can see that the road is blocked off, but there are two cars driving through the deep water. One of them appears to have its trunk open.

In the distance, you can see that the posted speed limit is 25. This would have been in miles per hour, but Ontario's highways changed to the metric system in September later that year.
